Who’s the powell experts….

Would you happen to know, is there a gap between the top of the swingarm and the underside of the strap or is more snug? Snug. I would bend strap back push the swingarm down against the spring and then bend the strap over the swingarm. The spring makes it tight

 

[Skipp]

Oh hell I thought the strap was welded to bottom strip…it’s movable???

 

[Itype2slo]

It is welded in place but you can bend it a little.

Lmao…maybe I shouldn’t have used 1/8” flat bar…you ain’t bending it….but I got it to my liking…thanks very much for all the input and keep it coming!

 

[Skipp]

How about a shot of both sides of the rear wheel so I can see how to set up the brake and spacing…thanks!!

 

[Itype2slo]

At work no good brake Pics I will take one later

 

[Itype2slo]

I put the liner on the brake and not the wheel but that is just me. A lot more people put it the liner on the wheel. Hope the pics help.

 

[Skipp]

That’s awesome….now the dumb question….on the non brake side (sprocket side)…is there a washer/spacer between the hub and swing arm? Thanks again for the assistance….its like a puzzle, with no box to look at….

No just chain adjuster ( on pic above f)

 

[Skipp]

Oh crap…I see, and it answers another question…I only had one chain adjuster….thats all it takes! Fantastic…thank again….ill try to slow down on the questions…..for now..

 

[ole4]

Correct just the chain side.

 

[Skipp]

Thanks your the information…we have a roller…figure out the mounting of pulley etc tomorrow…thanks again!!

 

[Skipp]

Can anyone tell me the measurements on the rubber piece that sits on top of the frame that holds the shifter on a C model? Thanks!

 

[Skipp]

Ok now I’m just showing off….a really cool friend of mine (former active member) made this for me….ill call it the “holy grail” of Powell parts!
Thanks bud!! Can’t thank you enough!!

Hey @Skipp that's badass.

Is that the shifter looking part ?

What function does the shifter looking part serve ? Drivetrain engagement ?

That’s the ever elusive throttle gear and accessory thst locks it in the throttle housing….

with that piece I can use the original throttle…which makes the bike, like original, ease of disassembly and transportable in something other than a pick up…

So once locked in place...do you then have a twist grip throttle like other motor bikes ?
