Bigger rear sprocket??? PHWOAR!

kwikbitch · 19-Apr-2005, 23:23

Just to let you all know....Nelly fitted me a new 43 tooth rear sprocket and new chain today.....

Feels like a new bike!.............

:b ouncy:

Fankyou Nelly for dropping all spanners this after when I turned up 4 hours early and sorting the chain before my "important meeting" that I was an hour late for

PHWOAR........................??????

so all the explaining what a bigger rear sprocket does, why it does it and what it'd make the bike feel like, comes down to "PHWOAR......that's great"

now then................when's the 14T front going on then

Thats the one Nelly,

You gotta try it with the 14t front too Lisa, it really boosts torque and power wheelies are in order !!! Just one thought thou', you may need the shorter 96t chain to even things out, which shortens the bike making turn in better too.

As usual, Lisa, you've hit the nail on the head. Perfect description of how it feels to ride the bike with that big rear sprocket. Mine's a 42 but 1 tooth is only an additional 100 revs ... or something ... according to Shazaam!. I definitely prefer the effect of that having switched from 36 just before Easter. That Phwoar is on a par with seeing Chillo with his shirt off... Doesn't get much better.

PS You're looking very bouncy ce soir x

Isnt it amazing Lisa, you alter something so trivial & it really tranforms your bike.

Really pleased it worked for you.
