Hi,

i am looking for a 50t steel rear sprocket without lightening holes. Its diffcult to find such a sprocket, and my boss is planning to murder me tonight and so i cant wait for santa. Can anyone please tell me a place. I have already tried Sprocket Specialist, they only customize aluminum ones. Thanks in advance.

may i ask why you would want to go with steel and not lightened, we run an aluminum one with the holes, seems like a solid steel one would be way too heavy, unless of course it is gona be a sprotor!!!!

Sprotors don't have to be steel. They can be aluminum, as long as you have the right brake pads.

If you're stuck on steel, and have a 2- or 3-axis mill, why not make your own? (http://www.gizmology.net/sprockets.htm)

Check out these guys
REBEL GEARS (http://www.rebelgears.com)
They helped us out and are very cool to work with. They're quick too.
I think they only do aluminum, but they can hardcoat!

Wow Denny, that is a much simpler way to draw a sprocket that what I learned in "Industrial Production Drafting." It's not entirely correct, but it'll get you there without any bells and whistles and with no math whatsoever.

Hey cog, if you had your heart set on steel you could look up Weasler Engineering (http://www.weasler.com). They make all sorts of good stuff and might have a sprocket on the shelf your size. I don't know how close you are to the Dairy State, though.
