| Jan 4, 2019 at 20:33 | comment | added | mattnz | Extending the thinking - machinehead-software.co.uk/bike/chain_length/… and sheldonbrown.com/cribsheet-bcd.html might help finding a sprocket to match a larger BCD. For instance a 76mm BCD 34 bolted to a 20 tooth cog. (Tooth count of selected sprocket would have to be divisible by the number of bolts on the chain ring, so 20tooth matched 5 and 4 bolt rings) Failing that, welding steel sprockets could be an option. | |

Forgot to mention that chainring bolts should be used to actually mount these.
