Re: pic: 2106 drivetrain (side)

Thanks Alex, we had a blast! I'm so ready for next January.
As for the lack of a second drive sprocket, AS Bill said, i love the idea of a lot of wrap on the gears and it made tensioning easy. I was also cautioned about having too many individual chains on a drive train. The less you have the less likely it is to fail. This little drive train served us well. I have plans to make a summer project out of improving this design for next year. Maybe just 1 chain per side?
