Maxima Chain Wax..
And that's what engineering is about. Getting things done exactly right, and avoid mistakesHowever, I do have a little bone to pick with whoever wrote that little note on Delfin.
The tensile strength of a material is expressed in units of pressure (psi) not units of force (lbs). So, while it may be correct to say that a tensile strength of 11,000 psi is more than a tensile strength of 9500 psi, it is not necessarily correct say the a structure made from the stronger material can withstand an extra 1500 lbs of force.
That would only be true if the structure had a cross sectional area of exactly 1 sq.in.
Anyhow - I don’t want to split hairs, but I also wouldn’t want anyone to break something and get hurt.
...and get on with SI units...
I googled Delrin. It was on the internet so it has to be true.However, I do have a little bone to pick with whoever wrote that little note on Delfin.

Does anyone know of a better product than Delrin to use?
I also have some UHMW coming to try.
I figured you'd like the 31T sprocket. When I combined that sprocket with Mikes 5th gear OD and matching pinion gear, it really makes a nice difference at cruising 65mph.Yeah, I was afraid it might make the bike really sluggish, but that’s not the case at all.
Mailman,That one that you showed me reminded me of this, I’d seen this on HVC’s website. I always thought that looked like an improvement over that stock metal piece.

Bob, just for fun, remove your seat, lay a towel or piece of carpet atop the frame, try the ride...
"Delfin" is Norwegian for dolphin........I googled "delfin" and got some Ecuadorian football team.
Don't recommend them for shaft protection.

I wanted a feet-forward relaxed, more cruiser-type bike but something that had some gitty-up. Gotta build yourself a bobber, MM. Feet sit flat on the ground when still. Seat height is very low. Only down side is the seat could use some more cushion for any ride longer than an hour.The other thing, try as I might to create the effect of a feet forward cruiser like 2M’s Victory, it’s not the same.
