    Default Where do Idler Sprockets come from?

    I need an idler sprocket and have sketched up ways to stuff a 26x10x8mm SKF bearing into a machined out 15 tooth sprocket. Then I did a google search and ended up in the buggy websites where they accept a teflon rubbing block as a good solution. What have you guys done to get something like a 15 tooth sprocket with bearing(s) to build in as an idler.

    Contact Jay at novaracecars.com.

    They have a set up that you could probably use. It should be reasonably priced.

    Ditto. I got some from McMaster Carr. No need to build your own, they do come with bearings.
