Abstract
A method of forming a sprocket comprising forming a sprocket member having a tooth profile, forming grooves in the sprocket member base, installing a plurality of sprocket members in a mandrel thereby forming a build, applying an elastomer member between adjacent sprocket members, wrapping a tensile member about the sprocket members and elastomer members, curing the build, removing the build from the mandrel, and inverting the build and joining the build to a rigid core.
