Thread Box:
Chain alternatives
Thread started by shauners at 12.10.08 - 10:51 am

You may have heard about shaft-driven bikes, which in passing conversations with bike shop guys is seen as a failure for people riding more than 20 miles a month. Technology in this area is improving, but it is still limited to boutique bike brands.
http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/
http://www.dekrabike.com/ddrive.htm


But the big news is that Trek is trying a carbon fiber belt. A big bike name getting into chain-alternatives could rattle some chains (sorry, i had to go there).

 I've seen belt driven folders, I think User1 know the specific brand.

And I've seen / heard of hydraulic drives.

 Once the penny-farthing trend catches on chain alternatives will be a moot point

 That would be the Strida Eric. There was someone riding one of these at the last Crank Mob ride. The latest one has a really nice frame and disc brakes. I rode it and it seemed not a bad fit for a bigger person.

There was a person I ran into that took a trip on one from Seattle to LA!

 I really want to try one of those trek districts, but it looks like they won't be getting them in until February at the earliest.

 I wonder if you could take the C-Drive or whatever their belt drivetrain is called and use it on another bike... I don't see why not.

I want to convert my bike to belt drive! Aluminum is too damn noisy with a chain!!

 The dude that had the Strida lived in the westside. Ask him to let you ride it sometime. The drive is surprisingly efficient. These folders fit a smaller person way better than me too.

 you can't put the belt on a normal frame because the belt is seamless, there's no way to get it through the rear triangle.
