Did you shave off every other tooth on the rear cog, or did you weld a skip tooth cog to the original Shimano cog?
(I think it was a Shimano hub on there..)
Re: HARD LUCK (7/16 door knobs and more dice!!)
sorry i forgot to answer the question. i simply get a regular cog with an even number of teeth and cut off every other tooth. the trick to making it work smooth is when you grind them off to radius the cuts in between the teeth so the chain rides smooth on the cog. if you just grind them off with out doing this chances are you would snap a chain and with the price of skip chains these days you dont want to have that happen.

Thanks Adam. Easy enough..
I do need some skip tooth in my life. Man those chains definitely are not cheap!

Thanks for the help. I'm about to do this to a bike I picked up at Cyclefest. Will you be at the Sunny Side up show next weekend? If so I will see you there. Blue 8)karfer67 said:

Re: HARD LUCK (7/16 door knobs and more dice!!)
sorry i did not post pics yet. this is crunch time and i have a bunch of life issues i am dealing with at the same time. it will get done for sure just have no idea how i am gonna do the finished pics yet. the last of the pinstriping will happen tonight but my thing with the build off stands true that at least for me bad things tend to happen when i enter and this year is no different. all is ok (sorta) but it does not help thats for sure.

Too bad you're not on the right coast, there's a tattoo parlor here in town called Hard Luck Tattoo Co. It would be a cool backdrop for your machine.
