Powerplus rear sprocket

[Resto-Rob]

Hey guys and gals,
Does anyone know where i could find a 40 tooth rear sprocket for my 1931 Powerplus?
The problem i am having is that the one that is currently on my bike only has three mounting holes. The ones i have seen for sale have 5.
The one i have is like a fancy (lightweight) spoked style while the others i have seen are solid?!
Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂
Cheers!

Ok, so i had a closer look and the current sprocket doesnt have three mounting holes?!
The rear hub has rubber dampers inside and the sprocket has fins that fit between them.
Anyone had any experience with this style of hub on a Scott?? and where i could get a new sprocket?

The cushioned hub/sprocket was pretty much standard on Scotts except for the pre 1930’s Two Speeders and Three Speed Supers and I believe that a non cush drive Enfield hub was also used around 1927. If you can’t find a replacement sprocket, you could have the old one re-toothed.

Hi Rob I can retooth your existing sprocket if you are interested. Alan Noakes. scottworkshop@hotmail.co.uk

And I can supply sets of cush rubbers…..

Brilliant! Thanks for the info 🙂
Alan, how much roughly would I be looking at to get the original re-toothed? I think the chances of finding another in usable condition is pretty slim so i might need to go with re-toothing. Im in no hurry at this point 🙂

Hi Rob I charge £50 for doing the work plus the current cost of a new sprocket blank, the last one I bought was £28, plus the postal charge. Alan Noakes. scottworkshop@hotmail.co.uk
