Newbie Question Help

[cgonzali]

I am looking to start my first project mini chopper. From scratch I will be welding my first frame. I am trying my hardest to understand the live axle set up and was wondering if someone could help me. I wanna run one chain from centrifugal to a 60 tooth sprocket. Could someone run through the exact parts and assembly for the rear I will be looking at, and where I can find a 1" axle.

U need a axle,2 pillowblocks,sproket,sprocket hub,brakes,chain,clutch,There probaly is some small stuff i left out but thats the main stuff. And you can get the axle at northern tool www.northerntool.com

I would rather not use pillow blocks, but axle bearings. what axle at northen tools would be good? any other comments anyone??

Pillow block bearings are just as good as "axle" bearings as far as durability, if its the mounting design your looking for, northerntools bearings are fine.

I didnt know the correct termonology for axle bearings, all i could think of was pillow blocks.
