where to buy small 10tooth sprocket?

[jared8783]

i am jsut wondering if anybody knows where i can buy a small sprocket 415 or 41 aprox 10 tooth that will accept a small bearing comparable to a skateboard bearing.

i am looking for this so i can use it to replace the plastic wheal on my tensioner

thanks
jared

I believe Dave Staten has what you are looking for. Just a suggestion....I am using a derallieur wheel on my latest build. It only has about 450 miles so far, but it has worked flawlessly.

Further to what Denny said, any ½" pitch sprocket will do the job.
(½" is standard on both multi-speed and single-speed bikes, as well as in 410 and 415 chains. The only difference is in the width.)

i have seen different posts where people said that worked before and i thought to myself that that was a bad idea cuz i figured the pitch and roller size was different

then i saw AussieSteve here talkin about specs and what not and so i figured i would take some spare chain and wrap it around a spare bicycle sprocket

it fit good
thanks steve I will give it a shot
