Gearing...

After some advice.

Got a 36 / 13 set up at the moment and have to change the sprocket after bending it recently.

Seen one I really like which is half price but it is only available in 37t not 36t (sold out of 36t) - how much difference is this going to make when pedalling? If I get it what will I notice most?

Otherwise - can anyone recommend a strong 36t sprocket?? Mentioned it to Stodgy but he's only got one type available

it'll be harder to get going but ultimately faster. but shouldn't affect you in a park too much.


Barnaby are sure if you've bent your sprocket you don't wanna look at getting a rear cassette hub and going 28/10 or 29/9
I'm guessing you bashed your sprocket on some coping hence it's bent?

Whacked it on the coping droping into the bowl at Interact last week. 

Took it all apart and put the sprocket on a flat surface and I've bent it round the centre hole rather than the edge. feels funny when I ride - Only just ot it but must be made of swiss cheese - thinking about putting back on the old steel one.

Tempted with a new back wheel but more than I can afford just now, as first up is a new fork.

Quadrophenia has first dib dobs on my Macneil Bashguard 36t sprocket, but if he doesn't want it, then it's available if you're interested. It's the one off my bike now - maybe you remember it from Interact?  Won't be expensive

bushwacked thought his cranks were loose  pmsl

Cheers Rob - let me know if its still free - when will you know?

Jedi - I just wanted to check everything was still good, deep down I knew the crank wasn't loose - honest! 

I can't defend myself though as I took the whole crank apart when I got home to see what was wrong / bent!!

[JT71]

i thought something was wrong with my back wheel, which would have really f***ed me off being as it's an oddy cassette. the symptoms were that when i push the bike along the cranks turned as i pushed it instead of it just free wheeling.

turned out my cranks were loose. oooops.

at corby last week..i thought my new rear wheel and my cranks were fooked........as the bike wouldn't do anything i tried to make it do 

turned out it was just that i'm sh*t 

[JT71]

my bike's landing system is fooked.

hence i have a bad hand. lol.

or i'm sh1t.
