[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 41440, member: 21"] If you look at the photos you will see a cover that goes up from the countershaft. That contains a chain drive. A short shaft goes to near the centerline of the frame and there are a set of bevel gears and a shaft that goes to the head tube. At the head tube is the most complicated section of the whole arrangement. There is a setup that is almost conceptually like a car differential that gets the power out to the fork legs. Then each fork leg as a bevel gear setup and one shaft goes down parallel to each fork leg. Finally there is another gear arrangement that gets to torque to the front hub. I've actually met a rider on a trail who had one of these front wheel drive contraptions. He said that he liked it, but it sure looked like a maintenance nightmare to me. [/QUOTE]
