Manic Mechanic sprocket adapter

[Buddy]

Does anyone here use the MM sprocket adapter? Is it better than the rag joint? How did you measure hub diameter? Every time I try to use calipers to get the hub diameter I get a different reading.

what bike you using

It is the best after market part you can get bar none.Call jim and he will help you on your readings.HD

The bike is a Triax from Target. I had to get a different rear wheel becase the hub on the Triax tapered.

I've talked to Jim a few times. He just said to use calipers, which I've done, that's what I keep getting different readings with.

[skjjoe]

the wheel wont work with the tapered hub .not worth his time to set up his stuff. to accommodate the hub adapter. only way i know is to get i new hub. or wheel.there is alot of the thee mile island hubs coming out of target now.

[Buddy]

I already got a different wheel/hub.

Buddy, the best thing to do would be to take the rear wheel to your local hardware store or bike shop and have them measure the hub with a micrometer. Some of them even have the newer electronic models that will show the diameter in millimeters and inches. You won't be charged either!

[Buddy]

I was thinking I needed to do something like that. Hardware stores have micrometers?

I was thinking a machine shop. I don't know if they would charge me or not.

6" digital caliper- $12.99...and you will wonder how you ever got along without one.

That's what I've been using. I keep getting a different reading every time though. It doesn't help that the battery is about dead I think and the display is dim and flashing constantly. They aren't mine, mine aren't accurate enough.
