174 track on edge?

[bcab]

question for all you edge guys-can i put on a 174'' 15''wide 3.00 pitch track under my 03 verticle escape without drop and roll chaincase? i have stock tunnel with stock 159 suspension moved back about 1'' i know i would have to swap drivers but is there enough room for the 2.5'' track it looks like i only have about 1/2'' now with my 159x2 1/4 track thanks for your input

You can put the 174 x 2.5 on it with out doing a D&R. But if you decide to do it get the 16" wide version. You'll have to run smaller (7 tooth) Drivers but it will clear.

most will say not to run a 2 1/2 because it WILL rub. the stocker rubs sometimes

On my Edge i ft a 174" 16" 2.5" 3"pitch with a drop and roll and 7 tooth drivers! 8 tooth rubbed even with the D&R.. Do it right and D&R it! I know it is a ton of work but if you are a good fabricator you do not need a template!

Who makes the 7 tooth drivers in a 3 inch pitch that fits the edge shaft?

You could always swap to the IQ shaft, I believe it bolts right in.

Wahl Bros. or Avid

This will allow you to run 2.5 but it's tight, I have run this setup for 3 seasons now. I wish I would have gone with AVIDs new chain case and run the bigger drivers. 7t are pretty darn small and track angle is pretty steep.

7 tooth

The 7 tooth 3" pitch are not much smaller then the factory drivers~

 

[RYDPWDR]

1/2 inch smaller in diameter, that's actually quite a bit when you're wrapping a track around them. They also do change your track angle quite a bit...take a look at a stock edge then one like mine with 7t.

 

[extremedesigndave]

No, I do agree that you are making the track bend more! But you gotta do what you gotta do!

thanks for the info

thanks guys for the info-i may have to do the d&r-does anyone know if the kit is still availible from holtz?

Holz

does not make them anymore, just do some research. I know there is a few places still making them but if you are good at measuring and cutting some metal just figure it out yourself! 5/8" back and 5/8" down is a good start, just remember you C2C on your clutch's

Negative, requires cutting of the bulk head on the flange side for clearance. Good upgrade though the new style ds is much stronger.
