reverse?
Have you thought about how it will behave in reverse? As we all know, bicycles are only meant to be ridden in one direction and the only time there is any real force on the chain is when you peddle forward (peddling in reverse has almost no resistance). Obviously you won't be able to shift when going in reverse because the derailer can't push the chain to a new sprocket. But will you even be able to drive in reverse? The force on the chain will try to fold the derailer up instead of transfering the torque to the sprocket. Just something to think about.

[You know you're proud to be a FIRSTer when...] You explain to someone how do do something, they go off and do it, come back and ask, "is this right?" and you say,
"Yes."
