dima470 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hello all, i have a question. I usually go riding to sand mountain nevada. If I change the rear sprocket to one with 5 more teeth, will it increase the power? Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toytech Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 you will gain low end power, but loose top speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 5 teeth on the rear is a huge jump lower. Usually 2 teeth on rear is like 1 tooth on the front. 5 is much lower gearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB3 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I thought it was 1 to 3 ....front to back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make sense? you will not gain any power. what you are doing is making your gearing shorter where the engine wont have to work as hard. increase acceleration, decrease top end speed.

old put-put Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I thought it was 1 to 3 ....front to back x2 it is closer to 1-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
