made a new sprocket on autocad. dont know if u all remember but i cut one out on the cnc at my skool earlier on. i have been using it for a month and a bit and its working great for me. i just keep making ideas on autocad and i liked this one so i thought id share.

p.s does anyone know of somewhere in the coquitlam/ lowermainland that has a cnc that will do small jobs. i got 11 sprockets on a 6 inch by 4 foot sheet that i wanna get testing so i just need a small job done. any help would b great. enjoy

whatever color you get, get the sticky diamond things and put a little bit of epoxy on the bottom for longevity and then cover each of the $ symbols with them.

You left no reliefs in the corners.... ie impossible to machine.... but I do have a small machine.

That would be impossible to machine, but if you can find a CNC water cutter or laser cutter, you could get the shape, then post machine it to get the right tooth camber. I would be worried about the structural integrity of it. How are you planning on mounting it to your cranks? BMX cranks?

Where do you mount the cranks?

Might look cool on a lowrider type bike.
