Protip: Don't go complex in the drivetrain your rookie year. Go with the KOP drivetrain.
You can also look in CD-Media's whitepaper section; there are a number of papers on arm or drivetrain design; take a look at JVN's mechanical design calculator. (Or... any paper JVN has posted there...) |
Also an option is the brand new EWCP.org page which includes a single speed drivetrain calculator
http://ewcp.org/calculators/gearbox/single/ for those of you who don't have/don't want to open Excel just to do some simple math.
Eventually I'll add in the ability to share a link to your gearbox and some presets. Just wanted to let people know that the basic functionality is there.
