Left-Side-Drive freewheel adapter for disc hub

[spinningmagnets]

This is from a website called "Monkey Like Shiney". He made the adapter from stainless. I didn't put this in the 'resources' stickie, because they are not for sale, but this is what they would look like if someone wanted one, and needed a pic to describe it to a machinist. You bolt the adapter onto the disc flange, then thread the freewheel onto the adapter.

I suppose if you used a large-diameter brake-disc sandwiched between the adapter and the hub, you might be able to have both (drop-out spacing providing enough width, of course). I believe if you file two keyways between the two parts, a common freewheel with right-handed threads wouldn't unscrew itself...

But I take it anyone using a sprocket this small would already have the gear reduction sorted...so good for 2/3 stage reduction guys right??

Yeah, you would certainly have to have reduction already taken care of to use such a small rear sprocket.

Or have it as your manual pedal drive line like i did on my own bike...

manual pedals? You mean like actually using them on a bike?

There is just no room for that freewheel on 99% of bikes. There is no width there on most bike frames.
