Golden Eagle Bike Engine - New Rim - 082208

http://goldeneaglebikeengine.blogspot.com
This shows how my new Bicycle Rim from Golden Eagle is installed. This one has the larger 105mm spokes. I broke the other rim when I bungee corded the belt adjuster knob to the seat. The inner spring broke so I had to pull the knob forward to keep the belt tight to continue riding. I left it that way awhile not knowing it kept it from flexing during riding. Thus the pressure tension all went to the spokes and broke them.
I have a Subaru Robin EHO35 Engine. 200 mpg. Level speed at approximately 27 miles per hour.
I got the kit June 25, 2007
You can see installation and all things learned this first year at this blog:

How did your rim get warped so badly?

[goldeneaglebikengine]

Part was pressure. Part was smaller gear. Part part part was I didn't know to check the spokes and make sure they were tightened. But also key was that I strapped the engine knob tight when the spring broke, using a bungee cord, and thus it had no 'flexibility' when hitting bumps. Thus the strain went to the spokes and they broke up next to the rim. Thus a warp. Now I have thicker spokes, and an extra spring incase the clutch knob spring breaks again.

how has your wheel faired thus far an updated report please. Also did they include the spacer in the order or was that seperate.

I guess that works. If it were me I wouldn't rely on their mounting setup. I would weld in pieces of round steel bar between the pulley and the outer wheel rim (which would make it look similar to a wheelchair wheel.) That would take a lot of stress off of the spokes.

not sure if this is a good design... a big driven ring is grabbing on the spokes especially right in the middle part of the spoke body. that's the weakest part of the wheel. no wonder you're breaking it...

You do know your chain needs to be replaced, right? Your cassette gears are badly worn. They will need to be replaced to.
