Go to Post I see people show up to a competition with their masterpiece, and proud of it. They are inspired by what they have accomplished. To make it onto the field is a high-it is the culmination of the thousands of hours of dedication compromises and commitment. They feel on top of the world. That's FIRST. - fox46 [more]

Sponsor donations are nice, but the parts always need to be evaluated against the alternatives.
I was thinking the same, I was just wondering i there could be a lightweight solution to mounting a sprocket to this thing. If I have to make an aluminum hub it will probably be more than the custom one we have now. So i'm gonna try it out and see what i can do what this thing and i'll post up a pic with a sprocket, hub and the wheel all attached in a few days.

Preseason Madness Rocks!
