Re: West coast drive (6wheel) question

Use the hubs if you rather not manufacture your own wheel. AndyMark wheels all come with a bearing bore for a dead axle setup*. Attaching the hubs to these wheels will allow you to run a live axle setup**.

Check out their sprockets page as well. Assuming you're using #35 chain, your choices from AndyMark would be:

McMaster has a larger selection of keyed sprockets if the AM ones won't fit in your design.

* - Dead Axle Setup: Wheels spin on a non-spinning axle
** - Live Axle Setup: Wheels spin together with the axle
