RE: Question about mounting sprockets
I ordered that stuff in the picture through a local bearing/hydraulics/machinery parts shop.
They had to order it in from Sydney or Brisbane I think.
Can't remember how much it was as I got them ages ago, but I think it was around the $120 mark all up, with 3 meters of chain and the 4 sprockets.
10, 20 and 40 tooth sprockets.
(#25 chain by the way, same as on pocketbikes and scooters etc)

DVP i followed the B way on mine.FG uses it too on their wheel squares.Also,make 2 flats,tighten the screws and drill where the mark from the screw is.Drill only 1-1,5mm

The axle is 1/2 inch and the grubs screws 5mm by the way.
a key way is the best

RE: Question about mounting sprockets
DVP i have many friends who own shops with mills,lathes,cncs ets...They all agree that a keyway on a such a small axle is a big no.First of all a keyway is going to weaken the axle and second is too much a pain in the @@s to make the middle point dead on 90 degrees.I don't say it can't be done,everything can...The question is,is it worth it when you can follow a much easier way?
Also,you have to drill the axle on the flat.I'll take a pic of my old one to show you what i mean
