Teeth change vs chain length question
Permalink  
 


Since building the 350 I'm loving it so much I don't want to stop riding it when my local lanes close over winter so I'm building some supermoto wheels on some hubs Steve at Totally kindly found for me

Of course the smaller 17" wheel and lower profile tyre will already shorten my gearing slightly which is the wrong direction for a road setup so I want drop as many teeth as possible on the road wheels

My chain tensioners are only on 5, they go up to 12 so must be room for losing at least 2 teeth, but can I get away with 3?

Of course only real answer is try it and see and I might just need to go bigger front anyway, but I'd like to start with the best guess and hopefully get it right!

 

Long post, TLDR: If my chain adjusters are on 5, what's my chance of getting a 3 tooth smaller sprocket on there?
