Disc brakes on jackshaft?

Gearhead1956 · 12-15-2010, 05:15 PM

Hi, new here. I just bought my first cart, 99 Yamaha gas. no engine, bad shape for $200. Going to put MC engine in it, Looking for bike now. After seeing posts here on rpm,road speed and dics brakes I was thinking a jackshaft chain to chain, could use any gear to get road speed and would be easy to mount rotors on. And I could have hydraulic disc cheep and not the $800 cable disc I see for carts. Has anyone tried this?
What do you think???

thanks

Will the chain be jack shaft to differential?
If not your breaks won't work through the cvt
pulleys.

What $800 cable discs are you referring to?

A good hydraulic 4 wheel disc brake set up can cost nearly that much $765 (and worth every penny in my opinion) but cable brakes are 2 wheel and run about $300. I just didn't want the misinformation going any further.

Good Luck with your project

Thanks scottb, Yes now I think about stopping before speed! Must be my age,When I was younger I would make it go and think about stopping when I needed to stop
