Pre Splined Sprocket Shafting

[Guest]

I wanted to make some offset sprockets. Since I was quoted nearly 200 for a sprocket, I have a machine shop beside my house . Also a welder, ect. I wanted to buy a few feet of internally splined material to use to make up some offset sprockets, Any ideas Guys? Thank-you Mike

Never seen or heard of internally splined material being available - doesn't mean it's not though..

The factory would have broached sprocket blanks prior to cutting teeth. It's actually not too difficult to convert an old gearbox shaft to a broach yourself.

I bought mine off Katman for less than $100.

What got me going o nthis is our local bike shop wanted $200. for a front 15 tooth offset sprocket. I as a canadian get jammed all the time buying from the states our lousy dollar and then shipping it adds up. Example bought a JD square tube bender for 500 dollars with a set of diers, At my door it cost me $1500 dollars no ****!! UPS suck any how Lectro nthrottle cable 100 dollars to my door, and so on to give u guys an idea, Thanx Mike

No idea about where to get splined shaft blank, sorry. I guess you will have hard time finding it.

Just for curiosity, how much offset you need? If it is any "normal" offset like 10-15mm I guess it's easier and cheaper just buy one. One good source is XAM Japan: http://xam-japan.co.jp/en/ Their website isn't very useful but they have been very helpful when contacted by email.

Of course if you need something more special like sprocket for outrigger support then custom made part is probably only choice.

For starters I understand your pain! I will not use a vendor if they will not ship via USPS, all other shipping companies **** you up the arse with brokerage and fees. But of lately USPS prices have gone up some but still way less than the others.

With the CdN dollar so low now it makes no sense buying products from the states anyways!

I went with Katman for mine. He is in Canada (BC).

make one from a regular sprocket...
in the past i watched a well known chassis builder making offset sprockets from PBI flat sprockets.
machine the center/add tube/fit center that you removed/true/weld...
add nose if necessary/required.
