Generally, when you do something stupid and unsafe, it isn't the best idea to go and tell thousands of people on CD about it. :rolleyes: - Cory [more]

Re: West Coast Drive, WCD

The advantages that lead us to a west coast-ish style drive were:
1) ease of maintenance
2) wider track width
3) less weight
4) protected belts

We were already planning on direct driving a wheel no matter what frame style we chose and also leaning heavily towards a live axle system since for us it is easier to fabricate the components so a west coast inspired drive fit in perfectly with what we were already leaning towards.
