[QUOTE="spanky250, post: 24544, member: 20897"] SOG, I thing you are wrong about the tire producing greater force on the rear wheel than the drive chain. The tire is riding in dirt, a surface with decent traction at best. The chain is pulling on the sprocket teeth, a definately non-slip surface. It is applying a force of thousands of pounds per square inch, and this force is transmitted to the bike through the axle, not around the circumference of the sprocket. The BMW Paralever is designed to counteract a different problem (although the problem nets the same effect), that being the gear on the end of the drive shaft trying to climb up the driven gear in the hub, which forces the rear weel down. If you have ever ridden a drive-shaft equipped bike, then I am sure you have experienced this "jacking up" of the rear end under power. Any engineers in here that can shed some light on this?
