    Need a little help

    Really! That I definitely didn't know! There won't be too much play in it?

    Sprocket/Cog question

    Profile is a BMX company. They used to make some pretty good bikes back in the 80's and 90's. They also make some of the coolest sprockets/chainrings I've seen. I've been thinking about using the "Widowmaker" (attached image) on something as well! It's pretty sweet!

    Sprocket/Cog question

    How much should I offer?
