Sprocket fight.

[Ryan]

Well me and my friends were discussing something before and all the sudden it turned out to be a riot about sprocket sizes and how a smaller or bigger one will give better lowend/excell and how a bigger or smaller sprocket in the back will give more topend/speed. I always thought that a larger rear sprocket will will give more top speed, And a smaller rear sprocket will give you more excell. I just got to clear this up and see what is right. I thought a riot was gonna break out over this.:rolleyes:

bigger front - more top
littler front - less top

bigger rear - less top
smaller rear - more top

Front- Bigger/Smaller-More Speed/Less Speed

Rear-Bigger/Smaller-Less Speed/More Speed

Less Speed=More Torque

More Speed=Less Torque

:D :huh

If you think really hard, its easy to figure out if you dont know, but it gets tough when ur in the middle of a heated arguement, trust me, been there before.:rolleyes:

yea, bigger sprocket pulls more chain at a time = better top end but worse low end, and it all is easy from there

i have had people swear by a smaller on front and bigger on rear will give you more speed. it might be why i pass their slow ***** all the time on the straights!!!!!

[eldoexrider01]

oh yeah!!!!!!! one more thing... u are only as smart as the person you are arguing with. so its not worth arguing about.

When you are talking about speed, you have to tell which type of speed. A smaller front will give you more or faster speed on the bottom but no top end. A larger fron will give you higher speed on the top but less low end. You have more speed with both, but do you want it on the top or bottom?
