MAC : I got one of the hubs NOS for $8.00 + shipping last week off e-bay. The point was to run a thin sprocket on one side and a brake disc on the other side so the wheel would still be looking great.
I will keep looking. Steve :scooter:

........I've heard horror stories that the newer Azusa Astro's are like grenades.
The center area "may not" be as strong as vintage rims.

But who really cares............they still look good. :freakout:

I think that might be the result of some bad sprocket mounting methods. I have seen some so-called drive wheel set-ups for the Astro that I didn't like, that's why I made mine. I feel confident that my set-up is good and strong, despersing the stress on the wheel evenly. I think they will hold up fine with normal to moderate horsepower Minis. I will be using them myself on a bike I'm building that will be powered by a Clinton E-65 Kart motor(appx 8hp 2-stroke)

OK.....We started making more Astro drive sprockets. If you're interested in one, PM me and include whether you want 60T or 72T. This will help me decide how many of each to make.
Also let me know if you want a wheel or a pair of wheels, and if you want the 5" brake assy. too.

Thanks to all of you that have purchased already.:thumbsup:

At one time years ago I was looking for that wheel. I had one blow apart on me running 60mph in a storm drain. After that I started my search, but could never find the back wheel only the front.

60 tooth sprocket

Who makes a 60 tooth #35 sprocket to fit one of these Astro wheels with the raised mounts?
It looks like it needs to have approximately a 5 3/4" bore and six 3/16" holes on a 6 3/8" bolt circle.
