Sprocket drive adapters

[gearhead437]

Dear Fellow Members-Does anyone have any experience with the Manic Mechanic rear sprocket adapter with sprocket? Here's the E-bay link:

Manic Mechanic motorized bike sprocket adapter & 44T sprocket | eBay

What you get: (1) SPROCKET ADAPTER & (1) 44 TOOTH SPROCKET includes hardware and wrenches. Replaces factory rag joint and sprocket. Ensures concentricity with the wheel hub. Drives the entire wheel.Not the spokes.

Looks like a great idea. As always, appreciate any feedback-Gearhead222

These are made to fit onto coaster brake hubs so that limits what bike you can use them on.

I've seen these advertised in different sizes so you'll just have to measure the diameter of your hub first. I saw a great idea on YouTube where a guy machined a slot in the adapter to accept a key. Then he took a Dremel Tool and ground a corresponding grove in the hub. This key now prevents the adapter from slipping if the bolts won't hold it tight.

Great idea. I've found when pressure connecting dissimilar metals such as aluminum and steel, slippages occur.

If you want to do that the easier way, just use a roll pin. Drill out your adaptor (one hole) and a hole in the hub. Tap the roll pin in and snug the adaptor down.

Probably want a 4mm though.

Dear Fellow Members-Seen the Bikeberry video and have a Huffy Hyper Beach Cruiser incoming. Keeping all fingers crossed that it arrives in one piece with decent rims-we will see. There are SO many offerings out there that it boggles the mind. Here's an E-Bay model I'm very interested in, as it appears that the sprocket is made out of a steel alloy instead of aluminum:

3/6/9 hole sprocket adapter 32T 36T 44T 48T 56T 60T 28T 80cc 100c gas motor bike | eBay

56T is 3/9 hole ( no 6 hole). Dished : 28T, 44T, 48T. 28T is 9-hole only. center hole is36mm.

The manic mechanic mentioned that the cruiser hub tolerances for his sprocket adapter are only from 1.520-1.528", so am very curious to hear from actual users of ANY sprocket adapters from any source-Gearhead437

The Tomato or Tamahto of this one is the Hyper has a heavier, thicker tubing, and better welding than the Huffy...I know because I've had both now...lol.
