Been dreaming about owning a Moulton for 3 years. Xmas this year I will be buying a Moulton Speed. I cannot wait. My friend has one and its like the most amazing bike I ever rode. And I got over 30mph on the flat. Ive never been able to achieve this on anyother small wheel bike. So I have to own one.
I don’t know how much you’ve researched or know about this - I’m looking to run di2 shifters with a campagnolo 11 cassette - I read that the spacing on campag and shimano 11 are the basically the same so di2 works with campag freehubs - any insights from you would be great - I’m wanting to use this combination as I need to use a Moulton specific campag 11 speed free hub
You are right, it is not recommended. But a Moulton is different from other bikes, the chain stays are much longer than even full-size bikes, a longer chain means less deflection, so crossover is not an issue. One of the drawbacks to setting up a Moulton with a wide gear range is that it is hard to find a new chain which is long enough. With this bike I had buy two chains and combine them. If you look closely, you’ll notice there are two quick links.
That's a supercool build and super clean Moulton. Congrats and enjoy!
Really love your vids even though they're detailed they're definitely NOT boring

WHAT DO pSI do you use on the bike.
Your gears are in maximum crossover which is not recommended

@@twowheelsintokyo7039 woah interesting
@@twowheelsintokyo7039thanks for the proper analysis, it had not occurred to me that the chain stays were so different.
