14/47 Front and Rear Ratio?
 

Morning Hooligans,

I'm not a top speed kinda guy! :smt115
Going down 1 tooth on the front and up 3 on the back to drag the top speed down and make my Sophie :smt060 (see avatar) more frisky lower down.

To quote a guru;

"The smaller the sprocket, the tighter the arc of the chain around it which wears it quicker and puts more stress on output shaft."

Buying the sprockets, a new chain, flush indicators and a tail tidy this week, fitting them next week!
Before I buy the gear im curious were all you guys buy your bits from?

Being a squid :smt106 I may need some assistance fitting :D.......

I may pester 'DavePreston' and seduce him with beer and bacon :mrgreen:!!!

Oh well, you'll not get much done and the 47 tooth sprocket will end up on front. :p

Plus he'll be phished after 2 pints and fall asleep, so you'll be left to finish the job :mrgreen:

Shandy and quorn flavoured tofu burgers :twisted:!!
he wont know the difference !

Where do you buy your bits from? Online or your local?

For stuff like you want, I usually go to Wemoto.

Don't know if you'll get the rear sprocket there, you might have to go to B&C Express for this, so get the front there too.

but yes b&c express for chain/sprockets, we refuse to use motax for indicators or owt else (patten thieven scum) but stick up a wanted thread on here for tail tidy and indies anyway

Yep, no buying Motrax policy on the Org.

I've just bought Epic Monkey's Oxford Nano LED indicators. Super bright, but tiny.

Not tiny, but will probably outlast the Motrax ones
