The Ichibike sprocket is a good product. You could compare yours to this one to see if it's similar, and email them to be sure before you purchase.

Another way to do it is to grind off every other tooth on your Huffy rear cog. As long as it has an even number of teeth this should work. Odd tooth count won't work. Good luck and have fun!
 
you can grind off every other tooth from the rear wheel cog of a modern Huffy. It will work but might make a small noise because the modern sprocket is narrower, so the old skiptooth chain will move side to side a bit. Again, it will work, and I've ridden a number of miles on this type of mod.
 
Idiotboy. thank you for the information. Currently the 10 tooth is out of stock.

Whats the purpose of a "Skip tooth" on a single speed bike?

Ifitsfofreeitsforme, thank for the suggestion. I may give it a try if I cannot get an actual "skiptooth"
 
Because I am cheap, and this bike will be hardly ridden. I opted to make a "Skip tooth" sprocket. In the future, if needed, I will purchase the $25 sprocket. Now I need to get up enough nerve to do an Oxalic acid bath to this bike which is Red in color. I know it is a gamble because of the Red paint. There is a gentleman on the"Cabe" forum that successfully did an Oxalic acid bath on a Red Schwinn bike.
