Manic Mechanic may be able to make a custom sprocket. Otherwise, get a jackshaft/shifter kit from SBP that drives your pedal chain.

Thanks for the info. I notice all the jackshaft/shifter kits are used along with multi speed sprockets, I haven't seen any used with a single speed as of yet. The Worksman that I would be installing it on is a single speed, I'm wondering if it makes any difference?

what size spokes would you need to lace one of these puppies into a 24 inch rim then you could just bolt on a sprocket? its a motobecane rear drum hub.

You can use a singlepeed rear wheel with a shift kit. To my knowledge, you cannot use ashift kit to activate a coaster brake.

Ok great, this rear wheel is a single speed with the drum. Sounds like the jackshaft kit can be an alternative if I can't find a way to use some kind of modified sprocket for the drum.
