September 26, 201213 yr As the title says is there any particular reason does anyone know? Or is it just a Beta "thing"? Just curious!
September 26, 201213 yr Author Ooooops sorry wrong way round!!! Had a couple of sherbets (beers) lol Edited September 26, 201213 yr by tazz229
September 26, 201213 yr My guess is; Beta were limited by their engine design i.e they were lumbered with an engine that rotated the 'wrong' way which decreed which side the drive sprocket would appear thus dictating where the chain would run? Just a thought
