Hey Eugene, all your videos have been great and help me build a couple of bikes. First one I built, was for my dad, and I miss riding it so much that I had to build another one for myself. Now I'm building one for my girlfriend but this one's a four stroke the last two were two strokes. Some people just don't get it, on these builds, now all my builds are with huffy beach cruisers and I've had no problems. One of these days I'd love to have you build me a board track racer with a 4 stroke engine, with a in tank frame. Thanks for the videos Jason.

This is like the 3rd time I've seen people having to grind out the center of a new sprocket and or the dust cap as well to get shit to fit on standard hubs and shit over years timeframe? Are you telling me they still don't just make sprockets inside diameters by the millimeter that just freaking bolt on? Geez, drag racers wouldn't put up with that shit for this long. God bless you. 😢

I had problems installing the sprocket due to a few spokes being in the way and going off center when when starting to tighen the bolts followed the instructions. After a hour or so of being frustrated so I came up with a idea to use a socket that fit perfectly in the center of the sprocket hole and made sure that was centered, (it basically centered itself) and of course used the tire nut to tighen the socket down tight on the hub and then the sprocket was very much centered and I could tighen up the socket to the spokes with sprocket staying in the center. I'm sure it could be off by a millimeter or two but when I measured everything when done I couldn't tell if it was off centered. No problems peddling or running the engine at top speed.

Pro tip, if you get rid of those cages you can fit all the bearings that should be in there. Just use some thick grease to hold them in during assembly, local hardware should have loose bearings same size as those in your caged ones.

The easy way to align the sprocket , with small pipe the diameter of the outside hub and a washer with the inside nut diameter you can push and align almost perfect the sprocket,in my case my sprocket inside diameter was a about 1/8 bigger than the outside hub so I use electrical tape Araund the hub to fit the gap,the align was pretty easy. I’m not and English speaker but hope it help .

If you don't want to bend the brake arm you can exchange the bolts with round head hex bolts. Helped me! To verify if your sprocket is concentric with the wheel, measure from the center stud to the valley between the teeth at several apposing locations. You can tap the sprocket with a rubber mallet to help move it around, as your tightening the bolts. Great Hobby!

All I have with this so-called rag joint is problems, so I replaced them with the aluminum billet sprocket set up that perfectly centers the sprocket in alinement. I drilled the 3 bolt holes in the 50-tooth sprocket so I could use it because I don't need speed, I need power

I noticed you didn't put the dust cover back on over the bearings. I had mine on and when I tightened down the rag joint, my wheel wouldn't turn until I loosened up the bolts because the rag joint sprocket was pushing the dust cover too tight against the bearings. So I guess it's ok to leave the dust cover off?

You can use a 1 1/16 1/2 short well socket to hold the sproket center. While you tighten your sproket to the wheel. It also helps to make another ring to put over the 3 pieces on the inside around the hub. It keeps the 3 pieces centered and they wont over lap each other. On freewheel or cassette hubs, it's a 1inch 1/2 shortwhell socket (beach cruisers) mtb are uasllay 1 3/16 socket. Some axles are long enough to put the nut on to keep the socket centered. On some 64 tooth steel sprockets you have to use a round file. To bevel the edge. If you have a steel hub and steel sproket. You can take apart the hub. And spot weld the sproket to the hub. Just keep in mind if your running wide tires. 2.00, 2.75 etc the sproket has to be the widest spacer on the out side. Or you chain will hit your tire.

Compression joints where used on plates and gears if on cracked to hold a spare on or keep a broken one functional

I've started my first motorized bike build and I've ran into a huge headache. hoping you can help me. I ordered a Huffy Panama Jack off Amazon. When it arrived, the rear wheel was bent horribly. I wasn't too concerned because I planned to change the rims anyway to something more sturdy. I ended up purchasing a Weinmann AS7X set on line with a 3 speed Nexus Hub. The sprocket that came with my Flying Horse 66cc/80cc kit will not fit over the Nexus hub. To make matters even more difficult, the hub will not fit between the wheel slots on the bike. My wife has a Huffy Regatta and it came with the 3 speed Nexus Hub. I assumed the same set up would fit on the Panama Jack. what can I do to get this right?

In need of some advice from some of you guys out there" or girls" I bought a Kit motor and it says to complete the pancake part of it you take the two pieces of rubber cut one in between the holes slide it in no problem then you take three pieces of metal put it up against that rubber on the inside of the spokes and press some up against another piece of rubber in there and connect those three pieces of metal to two pieces of metal two plates rounded plate with holes in them so that would complete your pancake but mine didn't come with that mine came with just the three pieces of metal you know the rounded curved metal with three holes in each one to make the nine hole pattern so do I go ahead and use just those three pieces or am I supposed to go out and buy some buy those other two plates somewhere else or some some other way to do this can somebody please help me with this I'm really stuck

Does the sprocket has a direction? Or I can turn it over?

Why don't you just tighten the bolts in a criss cross patern like you do when putting a car wheel on it worked for me.

You don't need to grind off the dust cover cause the sprocket never gets that close to the wheel...the rubber keeps the sprocket off the wheel.

dougsr8745 Just put mine together today (twice) and can feel an hear somethings wrong have boiled it down to dust cover. Sprocket has it smashed together an creating lots of friction. Watched a few vids an some get rid of it an this guy ground it off. Pick ur poison. Guess I'm getting ready for round three SMDH

Check out eBay for the 'Easy sprocket assembly tool'. You'll need a little drum sander on a Dremel or drill to modify your sprocket hole but it's easy and makes sprocket installation a snap.

Shouldn't the rear wheel be tuned first ? If the spokes arent correct I dont see how the sprocket can be. Im tune both wheels before I even look at the engine. 2 cents worth.

The best way to use a rag joint sprocket is to throw it in the trash, then get a hub mount.

They both have their pluses and minuses. I'd prefer a steel wheel with machined in mounting holes as part of the hub. Expensive, so.. No go for me. Too cheap. But.... I'll go to Husky Bike's website. They sell Industrial bikes and parts. They sell heavy steel wheels w/ 11ga spokes and even a moped style front hub brake w/ 11ga spokes and heavy steel wheels and use a rag joint on the rear coaster one

Paul Metcalf, I weigh 180 pounds, I've used my adapter on two different wheels with no slippage, and those three bolts are 3/8" thick and are made of hardened steel. Almost everything you said is wrong.

I've built at least 100. Never a problem once I learned the correct way to install it. The hub adapter ones can bend spokes and deform wheel. If on a budget or simply a cheapskate like me the rag joint works fine.

Demitri Stepanian actually it will work with disc brakes but you need to get 120 millimeter rear rotor or use a rotor sprocket from the Mini Bike World I use disc brake hubs and build an adapter for the sprocket no disc brake I rely on the rim brakes for stopping if you get a narrow enough hub or used plenty of spacing you can put the disc brake and the sprocket together tight fit though
