A rear sprocket on those five spoke mag wheels. I have been thinking about getting one for my bike. After breaking out those spokes the thick ole mag spokes look good but what would a nine hole sprocket do on them I wonder.

couple things to consider.
1> you have to bend your frame to accommodate the rim. what they are using is a hydraulic brake mount on the rim so it will be wider
2. real small screws and only 6 of them on the mount. also your sprockets will have to be drilled to work with it

BMX BICYCLE WHEEL MAG BLACK COASTER BRAKE 20 INCH - eBay (item 120195011926 end time Apr-05-08 21:05:37 PDT)
I think that is a coaster brake. I'm not sure about the sprocket I might be able to line up most of them. thats why I asked though.

You could use 26" Tuff Wheels...(they are 6-stars) with a standard hand brake; & there's a guy on ebay that sells rear sprockets, (says he can machine em any way you want.)

Too much trouble for me. I just want to bolt something on and go. I'm not into heavy modifications. I might try a mag wheel if one comes alone cheap enough.
