Would it be reasonable for a machine shop to machine a sprocket to accept socket drive? Or is it something better suited for the actual time of manufacture?

Shouldn't be too difficult.

The socket idea is awesome except there probably wont be a lot of LHD love for a while.

in theory its a better system among the mechanically "aware" bikeguide community, but in reality kids will just buy whatever shiny new part their mates say is cool, and bash that sprocket on with a hammer

Yes, shouldn't be a problem as long as the sprocket you have in mind has enough material around it.

Sadly you are probably right, but in the case of a Taiwan 22mm on a Profile crank it would probably never come off again...

it wont matter though cos theyll have to replace their cranks before they replace the sprocket, because the $20 plastic pedals that are rusted into their cranks will wear out first

i like the socket drive but i just hope it won't go clicking back and forth after time. i was always discontent with sprocket bolts for that reason. i like the idea of having the torque of the sprocket directly on the crankarm. That's mainly what i thought spline drive would give problems with; fucking up axles and stuff, but it obv hasn't as far as i know.

I just wanna say I wish socket drive had existed from day one. I ran the flatare twombolts (160mm) with both a flatware socket drive sprocket and a zodiac socket drive sprocket for about 18 months* and it worked an absolute treat. I'm extremely talented at bashing cranks/sockets into things and it never once gave me any issues.

If I ever buy new cranks (unlikely) they will be socket drive for sure.

I've got a ton of Socket Drive sprockets, from 15t up to 30t. Been making 3/4", 22mm, 15/16" adapters and some spline drive adapters since the beginning. Still really only sell to flatland dudes though. I've milled quite a few sprockets, both bolt drive and spline drive into Socket Drive. Most work just fine without issue. It really is a nice system.

its coz profile uses imperial measurements so their 22mm is actually whichever imperial fraction is closest to 22mm, which is 7/8" or 22.225

basically, profile is retarded

#muurica

Is it not Profile that uses 7mm broached crankbolts? Who in their right mind said "7mm is a good idea"?

7mm IS a good idea in many ways. I would love to be able to spec 7mm for things like pedal broaches where a 6mm is too small to get it properly tight and an 8mm takes away too much material from the component. However, it IS also a pretty uncommon size...

I don't doubt that it has a mechanical advantage over 6mm. I prefer bigger sizes when working on things, but nobody offers replacement tools for it. Park Tools does not make a 7mm allen key in any of their tools/sets.

Now move over to 1/4 or 5/16 and I would understand that.
