If a 5 hole sprocket will fit, I have one I will trade for your used 6 hole. The 5 hole sprockets I have are 48T If I remember right. Let me know, I'll dig one out. Trade even sprocket, rag joint goodies and all.
Yes you can still use it.
This is what I did. Three of the bolts will hit the spokes. I use thinner bolts, for thoes three holes. But you can also drill bigger holes in your sproket.
I'd like to use this wheel, it looks really strong. It has a double wall rim made by bontrager. Will it be as strong as a 36 spoke wheel? Does anyone know if the 5 hole will fit?
