A cog question for the alot smarter than me people.

[HEMI426]

Can a skip tooth cog be put on a beach cruiser rim without to much trouble, or would it be easier to change out the chain ring. My oddness makes me want to go the easy route. Any help from the experts is appreciated. Thanks

Ichibike from Iowa may have skip tooth cogs (9, 10, 11 teeth), that fit modern Shimano, KT, or Bendix-style hubs.
Via a website and sometimes on eBay.
[But I don’t profess to be a lot smarter than anybody else].
My easiness makes me want to go the odd route (11-teeth), but might require a longer skip tooth chain. https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/ichi-sprockets.161707/

If your rear cog is for ½" pitch, then I'd say more simple to swap front chainring to ½"

The chain ring is skip tooth, the rim is 1/2 in. I have a ST rim but it dosen't match the front. I thought a cog swap would keep things matching if it was easy to do. Thanks guys for your input into my problem. I may have to rob a set off a girls bike, no big deal to better a boys bike. Is that politicaly correct calling them boys and girls bikes, I don't want to upset anyone.

One of them newer coaster brake bikes (Walmart, target etc.)

have a look at how they are both put together. I would guess the odds are not in your favor on this one.
