Re: Mounting an arm potentiometer

In '05, '07, and this year, we've tapped off the first arm reduction sprocket (as seen here - that picture is from '07). Generally we mount an idler sprocket to help tension the chain, then tap the pot sprocket off of the idler. Keeps things simple. Couldn't find any other pictures, but you can try scanning through Joe's website for any that I may have missed.

Re: Mounting an arm potentiometer

It was a pain, but i finally got it mounted with a belt drive. Can someone clarify something for me, though? Do all the pots i use have to be 100k, are other pots against the rules?
