I literally got so frusrated trying to get a sporcket on strait without warping in the process that I numbered every bolt in a cross pattern like a cylinder head and made 1 turn and then switched to the next bolt. It took forever but worked great.

That's a great idea! Thank you!

I put one of these together and this is by far the most difficult part. I tried finding a pre assembled one but no luck

Getting this sprocket straight is nearly impossible. I've been fighting with it for hours. I've never done anything like this, so that makes it harder. Good luck, everyone!

Most kits now only come with one set of plates, usually one with 5 holes and one with 4. There isn't any need for the extra plates although I changed my sprocket recently and had spare plates and thought I would try 2 sets and it did seem easier to set up. One mistake he made that you should avoid is make sure the cut in the ring is UNDER a plate and not between them. A good way to tighten the bolts evenly is to use a ruler or piece of card and mark how much thread is showing through on it and do them all the same. The 10mm nuts are very easy to strip if you overtighten them.

I can then spin it and see where to adjust. It makes it a lot easier.

I replaced the factory sprocket bolts with allen bolts from an old motor and make sure to use a flat washer on the outside of the sprocket and then on the inside I use a flat washer then a lock washer then a regular nut but longer with more threads then double nutted to a nylock nut and it holds good and looks cool too.

Very nicely done - thanks.

Super simple and clean 👌👌👌

Thank you very much this video did help me

You can put a shallow 1 and 1/16 1/2 socket. Put in the center or the sproket and depending on your axle. Most you can put the nut back on. And it will hold the sproket center. The entire time, and you wont have to adjust the sproket back in forth to get it centered out.

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERY OTHER VIDEO ON HOW TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER SKIPS THIS PART LIKE ITS IMPORTANT!!!

How is it now

if your having a problem getting the sprocket straight use some zip ties between the dust cover and the sprocket.. might have to trim down the dust cover if your not wanting to use zip ties. any other ideas would be helpful. Just a few I've done so far as a newbie.

You can also face the sprocket in or out to make sure the chain stays straight with the motor

Hi great video, can you tell me what bike your using?

Well done

Thank you wery mutch.This was helpful and keep going in theese videos

If the coaster brakes doesn't clear the bolts, switch to button head bolts. They are much lower profile.

i bought the upgraded clamp that goes right on the hub..s o much better

I bent my back rim..and I have to change all that..wish me luck..second time in a month the bike shop sold me a bent rim..

I do the same as this vid and I have problems while test riding it. I take the coster break off and install the sprocket and reinstall the coster break, but when I ride it wthout the motor chain on and use the coster break the rear hub untightens and makes my rim Loose. If anybody knows could they please tell me why it does that. It already broke 2 rims from it unloosening.

What if the bolts don’t go through the spokes can you mount it somehow else with adhesive or some sort of other bolt can’t get another bike and tbis is the only option

Tightened the bolts down pretty meticulously with even pressure. Center of the sprocket is center with the hub beautifully. Wheel is back on the bike and turning the pedals by hand, I notice the rear sprocket has tons of wobble as it goes around. Should I go around and snug bolts accordingly again? It's bad enough that it will need to be corrected. Just didn't know if there were any tricks I should know about.

when showing initial set up you show the outer edge of sprocket closer to inside of wheel however when you actually mounted the sprocket the outer toothed edge is away from the center of the sprocket which changes the alignment of the chain in referrence to the front engine sprocket. Which side of the sprocket should face out?

Wheel size doesn't matter so much as spoke count and pattern. The holes in the sprocket are basically only made to fit a set number of spokes, any more than that and it's impossible to line up all 9 holes without bending spokes or changing the lacing pattern. Edit: the optimal seems to be 32-36 spokes for anything 24-29", though there's undoubtedly other combinations of wheel size, spoke count and lacing patterns that'd work. On my bike I have 29" 48 spoke wheels, so every 3rd hole is blocked, so it has 2 bolts, empty hole, 2 bolts, empty, etc.. If you need to do this just make sure none of the side by side bolts are in the same plate on the back(each middle hole of the plates should be empty), and the cut in the rubber piece is behind on of the plates, not where two meet. Of course it's ideal to have all 9 bolts in but I've had this bike going on a year and just removed the sprocket to change out the spoke nipples and there were no bends or other visible signs having the 3 bolts out was causing any issues

I have 26 wheel but it has 3 gears so the middle ìs bigger i cant fit the sprocket on any tips?

Probably because there is pretty much an endless variety of hub diameters while there is only maybe 3 different sized hub adapters, so unless you do some wonky business with shims, or have your own mill they won't fit many wheels, and buying a new wheelset and $30 adapter to save 15 minutes isn't feasible for most people that are building a motorized bike as an inexpensive alternate mode of transportation

I need to know how you get the sprocket to stay straight. no matter what Ive tried, my sprocket seems to go off of alignment even just the slightest and it does cause a HUGE problem with the chain going too tight and then loose because of the bobbing of the sprocket. I've tried so many times to keep it aligned and it just goes off the slightest.

My solution to this was getting a hub mounted sprocket. I unfortunately stopped building motorbikes over a year ago. I was building them and selling them for decent money. But check out BBR Hub mounted sprockets or look them up on Amazon. make sure you use a digital caliper if you don't know how big your hub is on your rear wheel. Make sure you order the right size if you go this route. Believe me, i will NEVER use a spoke mounted sprocket ever again.

Are you tightening the bolts properly? Does it become misaligned immediately, during the first ride, or after a few rides? U may need to install ride then retorque after 10 or so minutes of riding. Edit: you should be making sure all bolts are tight before each ride. The shaking from the motor will loosen bolts and screws due to vibrations.

I read that you need to use heavy duty automobile grease in the hubs and bearings. The regular bike grease is not durable enough.

Your putting the plates in the back of the sprocket and behind the spokes but you didn't mention that. You made it sound as if there were just plates on the inside of the wheel hub, but unless I'm seeing things you have another set of plates between the sprocket and the outside of the wheel against the spoke. Is that for pushing the sprocket out further for clearance or do you need it for securing the sprocket to the spokes. Never saw that before, wondering why, just saying it cause's a little confusion when you do something but don't actually mention it, just a little slight of hand hey partner.

Using heavier gauge spokes is just a gimmick to get you to buy their more expensive wheels. If you install the sprocket and adapter properly it will work just fine with 14 gauge spokes. The bigger problem is keeping the engine mounted on the bike. I've broke 2 motor mounting studs in less than a year. These engines need far heavier grade studs than the cheap ones they provide and sell as replacements. I'm going to find out what size they are and go get my own heavier duty ones.
