I had originally wanted to use it for my commute which is 16 miles each way but that dream faded long ago.
I'm now waiting for the cyclone kit, but I've also ordered the clutch/sprocket that karma and luc used to make the crank freespin. Once I get all these, I'll know which one works best.
Keeping the original bearing that came with the bike might be best, and if it is, I'll ignore the one from cyclone. I've got a full shop in our business so welding the sprocket to the clutch should be doable.
