View Full Version : Sprocket fight.
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

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

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?
