Re: Attatching an axel to a wheel
According to Mr. Bill (team Hammond, 71), if you don't want it to move, weld it. While this may be difficult due to the material the wheel hub is made of, some teams will weld the sprocket to the axle and then bolt the wheel to the welded sprocket.

This is an extremely robust method of attachment, though if anything breaks, the whole axle must be replaced including the sprocket.
