i like, agreed it may seem daft but get your idea locked down!

Fantastic piece of engineering. +1 to the patent though. You could retire soon!

i have a question.. would just drilling the holes in the sprocket at the desired spacings not have the same effect?

embee · 29-03-11, 03:00 PM

Cheers for all the comments.

I'm sure it could be simplified in detail and still get most of the effect, and as suggested plastic mouldings would be the way to go, tooling doesn't come cheap though.

I did wonder about just cross-drilling the sprocket (Bibio) to "allow" oil through if it felt like it, but it was as much an interesting making exercise as anything, a good excuse to dig out the dividing head on the lathe!

I know from experience that development of these things can consume an inordinate amount of time, making, fitting, trying out etc. Sometimes you just go for one design and if it works then fine.

I reckon it could be incorporated into the rubber damping rings used on OE sprockets...........oops, another idea gone!

As for patenting, I've seen similar types of things before, if you look back at stuff done for steam engines there's a lot of common ideas there, plus it's too late once published anyway. Registering is different I guess.

If I ever simplify it enough to make it viable to offer trial versions I'll let you all know! Otherwise, normal Motrax service will be resumed shortly...

I'm happy to inform you that word in the trade is Motrax will almost certainly never trade again, and nor will any Frank Thomas group companies. I am very happy about that

Could this not just be simplified down to two shaped washers that bolt on, using the sprocket nut, either side of the sprocket so they can be fitted without the need for drilling?

Sold as a set of washers you can fit yourself in minutes to any sprocket, would be a real winner.

and just stamp them into shape.
