HI All,
In case anybody likes to work on bikes featuring an insane number of spokes, we can make Super Sprockets for you....
Here are some pics and a reply to another post....
Here are some pics of a Super Sprocket we made for a 140 spoke wheel! (we have the pattern on file so we can make them as needed).
We can make sprockets two different ways...
One sprocket will mount to hub (if your hub is a high flange) but you will have to drill holes in the hub...This provides a solid mount....IF you can find a disc brake hub with enough spoke holes you can mount the sprocket directly to the rotor location itself or with a Top Hat Sprocket Adapter.
The other sprocket (one that looks like a hollow ring) is clamped to the spokes with a machined backer plate (can hard mount to clamp spokes or possibly use rubber like the factory kit (rubber not included).
NOTE: The first sprocket would probably work the best BUT we can close up the center on the sprocket that looks like a "ring" BUT The customer liked the "openness" of the sprocket... On the other hand we could have added lightening holes to the solid sprocket BUT the customer wanted it without them....
Hope this helps...
Andrew
PS - After working with this wheel for awhile a 36 spoke wheel looks like it is too fragile to work!! HA
