downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 has anyone made a geared mod before it would be cool easier to get around on the do on a2 inch bike but not mods whyno.because theres no room for a mech, and would just get in the way.Would be pretty pointless.

dan more Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 yeah there is room for a mech ask stiff nips aka nick reed he ran one for a bit as a make shift chain tensoiner i spose you could run gears it would just be time and money really thanks dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Considering most mods have a 18t or smaller front gear, and the smallest rear cog you can run is about 12t,that isnt going to give a much more practical ratio...Run a real bike if you want something to get around on.

Wright Pads Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 As Adam said above Mod's have a f**ked up gear ratio so the range to fit on the back aint gonna happen.Also there is 110mm spacing and for gears 135 is needed really. Admiterly leeson have made a mod that runs a std MTB being 135mm spacing. It's not gonna happen.Oh and a mech can be fitted to a mod but it's tensioning the chain thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrials Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 The gain in speed is not going to make the increase in complexity/ weight/ cost worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 would this not solve the mech problem?http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/images/large_revell262.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Good thinging Ashley....a tensioner for a horitonal dropout with mech hnager built in! It still defects the object of chain tensioning as you still using the std manner but you can use it just as a mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionicman Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 this would be a bit of a stupid idea because where are the other cogs going to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavyn. Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 the new leeson mod is it posible to run gears on one of them perhaps you could ask clive to make on specialy for you and run 22 t up front and 16 as you trials gear and 12 as your "getting about gear"plus you could run a pro 2 or a normal chris king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
