Sprocket suppliers

[benj]

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a pretty specific sprocket but can't seem to find what I need.

I want to run standard narrow bike chain, I believe that is called ansi 40 (1/2" pitch). The sprocket I'd like would be a low tooth count with a 10mm bore (or machinable bore).

I live in the UK and I've had no luck so far. I would consider moving my whole drive chain to a different pitch, but I'm using a flip flop hub with screw on fixed gear and its unlikely I can find a hub sprocket in a different pitch.

Any ideas from anyone? Thanks very much.
Ben

It be better if you upload a image as that way you stand a better chance.

ANSI 40 chain uses thicker sprockets than your bicycle sprocket.

Thanks jateureka, that was very helpful. It's sending me down an unexplored route of using a disc brake adaptor...could be good...it would open up some more possibilities.

I just wanted to update this post and recommend a UK company that helped me out.

Not a great website, but fantastic on the phone and email. They helped me a huge amount, and the sprocket I needed was about £3 delivered. Brilliant!
