Sprockets

AaronF · #1 09-15-2009, 04:32 AM

Hi am wanting to get a 32t sprocket and drill my own mounting holes.Could you recommend a few places that sell the blank sprockets and what size of chain is acceptable with these sprockets?

Weldasprocket Assembly, #40 Chain/1/2 in. Pitch, 32T, Hub Series X - 1181168 | Tractor Supply Company

Would that one work along with a number #40 chain?Thanks!

Why do u want to drill your own holes? I just redrilled the std 36 spoke sproket for a 32 spoke wheel. Pretty easy.

I have a 44t sprocket right now an I'd like to get a 32t or something faster because it is mostly flat here.I'm on a small budget for different upgrade parts so I'm still trying to find a blank sprocket since they can be much cheaper than already made ones..There is a few threads here saying that you can use a #41 chain,could i possibly find a 32t sprocket an chain locally?If not what are some websites you'd recommend

not sure of the 40 chain

you could also try a 1-piece cranks sprocket (I have seen them drilled and mounted

any kiddie bikes laying around or a goodwill type place would have a whole bike cheap

Not sure if you want to go with a sprocket from TSC, it's going to be made for machinery it'll probably be hardened so drilling will be tough and that sprocket only has a 1" bore.

You could check out King's Sales & Service for that sprocket, but call him because he's slow on the email thing.
I got a 34 tooth from him and I can easily get 43 mph on a flat and down hills, it's "Whoopie!!" I'm really movin' now!

A #40 sprocket is much wider (thicker) then even #41 chain. If you have 410 or 415, the chain won't go on the teeth of the 40. I used a 40 sprocket one time with 41 chain and had to grind the sprocket down A LOT to the 41 chain to work. Not worth the extra work in my opinion.
