So, is there a reason not many people use a disk brake wheel and a 6 hole sprocket? Is there some problems with this setup? I don't care about running rear disc brake, so I won't have any clearance issues. Are you running this? Where did you get your sprocket, and what wheel are you running??

Thanks,
Jesse

Custom Sprockets / Disc Hub Adapters - Kings Sales & Service Group's MySpace Blog | This guy makes a universal mount type sprocket. There is nothing wrong with mounting a sprocket on the rear wheel Vy the disk brake mount point on the hub. Cheers..

I have a 39 tooth sprocket from KIngs mounted to a Alex wheel with disc hub. No problems whatsoever. No fiddleing with it to get it straight.

Andy's (Kings) sprockets are great!
I think the reason not many people are using those sprockets is because you have to have a disc hub laced into your wheel. (most people just want to use what's already on the bike.)

Look at his pictures on his web sight they are truly universal sprockets.

Meaning they will work with a rag joint as well.

I ran my 40 tooth on a rag joint then later as a disk brake mount.
