? about attaching rear sprocket

[darwin]

I haven't seen where a sprocket is attached to a hub like a brake disc is on the left side. Seems like a great solution to the clam shell sprocket. Anyone have a link or site where there's pics of such setup? Is a disc brake hub beefy enough to handle the torque of the motor?

sprockets are available that have both the usual 9 holes and also have an extra 6 holes that fit a disk brake mount (you need to remove the disk tho)

i have heard of people having issues with mounting that way because of torque.

yeah, those holes are really small - got one here but never tried it

if I were to try, I think I'd drill out both the hub & sprocket to take larger bolts

a better solution for a single speed bike is to just get a moped drum brake hub. puch and pugeot hubs are dirt cheap, have a sprocket on one side and provisions for a freewheel on the other, and even have good brakes already on them

Here's the closest I could find to what I'm referring to, what do you think? http://www.bicycledesigner.com/bike-parts/bicycle-wheels/rear-motorized-wheel-26-36-spoke.html

Staton makes a setup like that too. http://www.staton-inc.com/store/products/List_of_Pre_Made_Wheels-1138-21.html or http://www.staton-inc.com/store/pro..._20_48_Hole_Rim_width_is_1_Silver-375-21.html

like my sprocket with both 6 & 9 holes already in it, that adapter depends on those 6 tiny brake disk bolts
