Sprocket Gear
Posted on Thursday, July 3, 2008 in Bike Parts
when you put a smaller sprocket on a bmx bike does it effect the gear the bike is in?
Like does it make you pedal faster, slower or is it the same? I am buying a 25t/10 or 25t/9 from an original 42t sprocket
That ratio will give you faster gearing, causing you to pedal faster than you used to, with the 42t sprocket. The benefit of this is that you can pick up speed quicker, and over a shorter distance, than previously, which is great if you are doing jumps on dirt, or ramps, with a short run-up. If you are using your bike for transport, to school and back, then you are going to find riding on long, straight roads, rather tiresome.
I would never run a sprocket over 25t, but then again, I ride Flatland, so I have no need for one.
