what is your favorite sprocket

[barnbikes]

Well boys and girls for a living I run a 3000 kilowatt Laser and while I was standing there yesterday daydreaming while waiting for a sheet of steel to get done being cut. It hit me - this thing could make some killer chain sprockets.

Thinking .125" plate in either stainless or crs.

I need pictures of your favorite sprockets to get ideas.

I found this one last night.



Thanks,
Jon

What an awesome thread idea. I stole the idea and started a Sprocket / Chainring Gallery in the "SHOW ME YOUR" gallery forum

Here is my contribution. A "TROPICAL" sprocket from Bali, Indonesia

There are a lot of cool sprockets out there but my favorite is the Murray sprockets because I think it's cool.


Here is a sprocket from one of the last years of USA made Murray bicycles I am using on my Christine bike. Notice the M with wings as it was used on the Mercury name Murray brought back at the time.

The one with the hand in the pic below.

Cut this one with a laser :mrgreen:

You should try to make one with a Rat Rod Bikes logo incorporated into it. :idea:

not fancy, but I have a few of them on my bikes, so I guess I like them:

Huffy

AMF star with red and green reflectors. I had one and traded it for a set of tandem sprockets. This is it, but not my pic, it came up on a search. The marks in the middle are exactly the same.

 

[kingfish254]

Those are cool too.

That is what my original idea was. If I get one done we can have a fund raiser auction.

Do I use: RRB.COM or spell it all out?

Here is a quick concept sketch.

Cool. But maybe drop the "com" and let that space be where the crank sits. That way, no words are obscured by the crank.

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

Good idea Dan. And I think the font is too conservative.

 

[barnbikes]

Try 2

Reminds me of a muscle bike sprocket though.

 

[kingfish254]

I think the script letters are too busy. Try sticking with the fat block letters like the first sprocket.

 

[barnbikes]

How about these.
