Subject: Rans Fusion + Golden Eagle motor?
|
I am trying to figure out if the Rans Fusion will accept the Golden
Eagle belt drive kit. If you have seen one mounted and functioning
please respond, or if you have a Fusion you could take a couple moments
and check the measurements shown at
http://www.bikeengines.com/measure.htm
From the website photos it appears to be wide enough, the piece that
connects the engine mount to the seatstay will take some improvising but
I am mainily concerned about the chainstay/seatstay drive ring clearance.
I haven't seen a 26/26 CF bike yet, the only example the local Rans
dealer has is a 2005/20"-front-wheel model, and I don'tknow if they are
the same in the back or not.

I ask for the 1,158,789,157 time [1], what is a "Rans"?
[1] And annoy someone by doing so for the 1,158,789,156 time. ;)

So far, both online and in real life, pretty much the /only/ bicycle
people that know about the CF bikes are recumbent riders. Upright bike
riders and shops haven't heard of them.

And to top it all off, I updated my Thunderbird to 1.5, and now it gives
me little red spellcheck underlines like Word does.....
