Default Re: somebody build me

That would be great, because I think I have figured out an easy way to make a drive wheel assembly from the rear axle of a coaster bike. I need to check on a sprocket.

It looks like you can take two big butted steel shelf L brackets and cut and weld them to a large channel configuration. They have threads on each end so in theory it would but just a matter of some nuts in the right places.

The sprocket would have to go inside the frame because of the wishbone of the bike. Any guess as to what size sprocket would be good to use. Since it is friction my guess it that it wouldn't matter too much.
