Jackshafts and layshafts |

Morning team |
|
Could someone talk to me about jackshafts or layshafts please? |
|
I'd like to use a jackshaft on the next build to give me options |
|
on gearing. I'm running 420 chain. |
|
These are my questions: |
|
1. What size jackshaft should I use? |
|
2. Can I buy these off the shelf? |
|
3. I was thinking of using a 10t (TAV) to 30t (jackshaft), then |
|
10t (jackshaft) to 35t on the axle...am I on the right track for |
|
a good final ratio of about 1:10 ish? |
|
4. Does anybody have any suggestions as to where I can buy the |
|
sprockets, as I want to make sure I'm getting the right gear? |
|
No pun intended. |
|
Any help will be greatly appreciated. |
|
Thank you in advance. |
|
Tim |
