Re: Mystery Sprockets
Weird, I got the same message. I saw it just after 9:00 pm.

Re: Mystery Sprockets
Also, it seems that what Karthik pasted is directly in contradiction with another Q&A, which asked where to obtain KOP sprockets.

Re: Mystery Sprockets
Just a tip we found out today:
When using the IFI sprockets on the kit wheels, make some type of spacer to have the sprocket jut-out a bit. Otherwise the chain will rub against the tread of the tire. The sprockets in the kit have spacers machined into them, and we didn't notice until today when we actually assembled them. |

Re: Mystery Sprockets
The ifi sprockets come with the spacers....aka "sprocket mounting hardware"

I read the one jgannon posted as allowing KoP sprockets obtained from other teams to be used as spares, not as additional parts. |

Re: Mystery Sprockets
I agree with Karthik, this is a tough ruling for many teams. Veterans who have donated these parts to other teams should do as he suggests and make sure the word gets out.
As others have suggested, one easy solution for teams that need a quick alternative to additional KoP sprockets is IFI's 35A24 kit (scroll down to Drivetrain Sprocket Specifications) for $9.99. |

Re: Mystery Sprockets
Try using Nylon sprockets, we have used them for 2 years, they save on weight and we have yet to break one! They are extremely easy to drill
I wouldn't use them on a keyed shaft (i.e the output) but they work great when bolted to a wheel. Use the hubbed ones though. |
