Does anyone happen to know if the Manic Mechanic and Sportsman Flyer sprocket adapters use the same bolt hole circle for mounting the sprockets? Couldn't find any old threads addressing this. I'm leaning towards getting the SF adapter but want to make sure I can use the MM size sprockets if I want to change out gearing in the future, as the MM ones seem to be the benchmark for size of custom sprockets. Anyone know?

Pat at Sportsman Flyer can make you any sprocket you want for his hub adapters.

@ tyler,
they are a generic 'fit-all' piece that don't really fit anything correctly
even the sprockets are different

Well, I ordered and received the Sportsman with a 56t. No regrets, it's a gorgeous machining job. Much heavier built than I expected, can't wait to start building.
