Number of teeth is not the only issue

I would ask for 72,84 and 96 teeth.

However, it is also important that they use the right materials and gear thickness. Plastic gears will NOT do; we need steel or maybe brass. The thickness of the gear should be 6mm minimum to carry the dynamic loads.

Also, we need a useful hub design that can be mated to idler shafts. A max hole diameter of 6mm for the shaft will allow us the flexibility to drill/ream the hole to the shaft size we need. If the gear is solid, then fine; if it has spokes then the outside hub diameter needs to be at least 25mm.
