Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

I had a bike with a chain drive and the damned chain broke on me once. Shaft drives don't do that

I have never had a shaft break on a bike. That's true and I'd never put much thought into that.

I have had a driveshaft break. I've also had CV shafts break. But I've never had the driveshaft on my bike break. I wonder why not? They get plenty of torque tossed at them, even for the size.

I don't know why. They must be over engineered for the torque. I have never heard of anyone breaking a shaft on a shaft drive bike

Nope. I've never heard of anyone breaking one. I'm sure it must have happened.
