how do you do this!?

[jj256]

I saw a board track racer rear wheel with a freewheel with roller chain sprocket on it. Does anybody know how to do this?

Do you have a picture of it? I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Lace the hub into the rim you want to use?

I'm going to try and find a pic

I am assuming that boardtrack racer refers to a much older bike, designed before the use of freewheels. Because a freewheel has nothing to thread onto on most older style wheels, I would assume that a freewheel hub has been laced to older rims. However, older wheels with thread-on cogs exist, and I have never tried to thread a freewheel onto one, nor would I know how many different thread sizes/pitches exist in the world of freewheels. So it might be possible that someone has threaded a freewheel onto an old prewar hub. Pics will definitely help though.

The sportsman flyer 200 has the rear wheel type I'm talking about on their double reduction drivetrain

This post shows the parts. Looks like he cut most of the teeth off.

Then used 8 bolts to attach it. First 4 are come from the inside and are threaded in the holes that he tapped in the free wheel sprocket.
The last 4 are using a nut and bolt.

Finished product. http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/show ... stcount=31

Oh now I get it thank u sir but how do you lock the freewheel in place

 

[user 135]

I doubt it locks in place. IF it operates as a normal freewheel then it would allow the bike to coast.

But wouldn't the torque from the engine destroy the hub

Station Inc makes a hub threaded for a south paw freewheel to use for his chain drive hubs.Pedal drive on right side moder drive on left side
