520 sprocket blanks

Hey,

I'm trying to source 35 tooth 520 steel sprocket blanks. I've tried everyone in Guangdong but would need to order a few hundred minimum and I only want 4. Most of the sprocket dealers say they deal with factories in the Beijing area so I'm kinda hoping that someone may have a contact and some guangxi! I have found 35 tooth 520 sprockets here in GD (so they do exist) but the galaxy XTR supermotard rear wheel has a very large hub and there's nothing available that's close enough to put on a lathe. We have a great engineering shop here in Shenzhen who will be able to knock out the sprockets if only we can source the blanks.

Any help would be awesome!

If the workshop you mention has a milling machine, they probably can make sprockets you need.

Or find workshop with CNC router. That is even more elegant solution.

The workshop is very old school, just a few dirty great big lathes and bench drills, no CNC or anything like that. I've been emailing a few Chinese companies to try and scam some samples, and have tried some UK and US companies. Fingers crossed!

Not so long ago, one of the MCM veterans posted link to some US based workshop/factory that makes custom sprockets. Prices are... reasonable.

Cheers! Ive found custom sprocket dealers in the US and UK. Its crazy but thats the only way to go it seems..
