As you all may already know, the installation for hub-mounted sprockets is pretty straightforward. But seeing as the surfaces of the hub itself and adapter are smooth, I don't see them able to adhere to one another securely, even with substantial tightening. Therefore I'm trying to figure out the best way to secure the sprocket so there isn't any possible slippage between the adapter and hub (or axle) caused from the torque of the motor.
Since I haven't found much of anything relating to the thesis of this topic through loose research I figure we could all come up with some sort of solution to eliminate the chance of slipping over time.
Brainstorming / R&D:
- Metal shim(s)
- Strip of innertube rubber between hub and adapter to increase grip
- Scoring the metal of hub and adapter (without ruining the integrity of either)
What I've listed are just ideas, not suggestions or sure-fire solutions. If you creative lot have tried anything that's worked exceptionally or have thought up a method you think is useful, feel free to share.
