[QUOTE="spanky250, post: 24548, member: 20897"] I do not have a degree in engineering, but it seems to me that the force of the chain is transmitted to the swingarm at the axle, not at the top of the sprocket. The chain does not pull only at the top of the sprocket, it applies pressure to all the teeth it is engaged in most of the way around the sprocket. I see one flaw in your experiment, SOG. When you are sitting on the bike, the rear suspension will be compressed enough to raise our imaginary line from the axle center to the countershaft center above the center of the pivot, allowing the torque to pull the rear wheel up. Try this with no weight on the bike so the rear suspension is extended, bringing this line below the center of the swingarm pivot, and I will bet you the rear will jack up under power.
