**Not quite enough clearance for drive ring? A customer shared steps taken when found
need for additional 1/8" between rear
forks/seat stays and spokes for clearance
for the drive ring: Remove rear wheel, insert
long bolt thru axle holes on frame, secure
w/nut - this holds forks/stays in correct
position, measure along frame 8 1/2"
to where drive ring will be positioned, spread
frame using scissor jack from a small car
(another cust. used 2x4's). DO NOT spread
frame any more than needed. NOT recommend
for the tight, 'squeezed in' frames. **This is ONLY recommended for those who
need additional 1/8" clearance. ** Readjust brakes as nessacery.
24" Wheel - Specific
Bicycles with 24"
Wheels -
If your bike has Caliper,
Disk or Coaster
brakes, And you have measured
fork width
for drive ring clearance
- installation of
the GEBE Mount Kit - With
or Without Engine
should go smoothly.
BUT if your bike has a V-brake, you should take one final measurement -
for Ring/Brake clearance.
Measure up the fork to
the edge of the brake
post - if you have 8 1/2"
Clearance
from the Top of the axle
to the brake post,
there is Adequate Clearance.
If you measure Less than
8 1/2", from
top of axle to brake post
- File axle drop-outs
back 3/16". This will
allow the wheel
to be moved back 3/16",
providing clearance.
Re-adjust brakes!!
** IMPORTANT! We DO NOT
recommend you motorize
a 27" touring bike
or a coaster brake
bike. The rims and spokes
of these bikes
may not hold up well to
the pounding they
will take at Eagle speed.
** IMPORTANT! This kit
is NOT designed to
mount on a Quick Release
axle. The Quick
Release should be replaced
with a standard
solid axle (available at
most bicycle shops),
comes with cones and bearings.
- OR - You
can purchase a Replacement
axle from GEBE
that fits the cones and
bearings of the 10mm
Fine or Coarse quick release
axle. |
