~~ Moto-Speed~~

[yeshoney]

I dubbed this bike "Moto-Speed". '26 Elgin motobike with a pair of Candy red Velocity 700c wheels, Spot front skewer hub and 7 Speed Nexus Coaster out back. 20 tooth cog chiseled down to a 10 tooth skip 1" pitch. Kenda Kwest 562x35 tires (same as 28 or 29er as I just learned). Need to install the crank/sprocket too. Just need a different set of no turn washers and a repop cross brace bar and I can call this one done!

I'm building a similar motorbike project--with a shimano nexus coaster brake hub. I just wanted to know if you just simply ground down every other tooth on the cog. I mean I know they call it skiptooth, but I wasn't sure that it works out to essentially skipping a tooth. Nice bike by the way

It works, provided there are an even # of teeth to begin with! Joe started w/a 20 tooth and ground down every other tooth.

True Dat Adam!

A funny aside to this is I thought i was grinding a 20 tooth and i got to the end and I ended up with two teeth side by side. Guess i should have counted more closely!!
