You know what's really trashy, I just found a 14" spoked car wheel with a knock off center that's calling me to attempt to put it on a motorcycle.....If I build the motorcycle I use as lawn art, I think I'll include that wheel.

If I run a car wheel I'll have to machine a new axle and a few other components. To save space I'm looking at utilizing the sprocket as the disk brake. This crazy idea is starting to come together in my head.

Good question. I looked at Exile Cycles sprocket/disk brake kit and they claim that one could run o-ring chains that don't require lube or, when lubing the chain to be careful and wipe excess lube off. They say the lube flies off and away from the sprocket when the bike is running and contamination mostly occurs when one is applying lube to the chain anyway. It's a tough call but an interesting part.
