HSD Installed - inaugural ride soon!

Last week while we were moving Nathan into college my Catrike Road boom came back with the new High Speed Drive (HSD) installed. I spent Saturday afternoon reinstalling the boom and adjusting the chain. The new high speed idlers will be in this week. Once installed I will be able to remove the chain tubes for an even quieter ride.

Initial tests on Saturday evening with the HSD were promising. I hope to be able to hit the road soon and actually log the results with a speedometer. Overall the goal was to get a few more MPH out of the top end and make it easier to ride close to the speed of DF bikes. If the engine can churn properly this should get me close.

More details to come!
