sprockets - still building up my ride (slowly

) been looking at them and a quick question - are the middles all 22mm and then if your crank spindal is smaller, then it will be 19mm ? and then it will be the same with mid BB's

using power bites - so they are 22mm right ?

and i take it if the rear wheel is a 9t then it's a 25t spocket and if it's a 10t then it's a 28t - for a even ride ?

can any one recomend a light rear wheel for a good price ?

cheers B

pretty much all sprockets are 22mm and come with a top hat washer to fit 19mm axles

powerbites are 22mm, with a mid bb u need a 19mm or 22mm mid bb u cant use a 19mm axle in a 22mm bb and obviously visa versa

25t-9t and 28t-10t is correct and gives the same gearing as 44-16

as for a rear wheel are u looking for new or 2nd hand?

ive got a odyssey hazzard lite rim built into a hazzard cassette hub with a 10 tooth driver for £50 posted, chrome has usual flake but rim is nice and straight

as for new you cant go wrong with a primo 7 series rim for round £55 they weigh around 444grams have it built into a proper rear hub with primo spokes and you got a strong light rear wheel for around £170

I always thought profile would make the best cassette hubs, but I have had loads of grief with my profile ss one + profile in UK. They took about 6 weeks to fix it the first time it broke(after about 1 month riding it - mostly at the park and race track), then about 3 months to sort it the second time it went(about 2 months after it was fixed). The springs a paws looked like they had been crushed in a vice. Now i'm not a mad rider but I'm a fairly smooth rider so I was shocked it nacked up so easy. I hear the profile mini ones are OK, but I'm not such a fan of profile now.

can't go wrong with an odyssey wheelset tbh. i use them religously.

it's so confussing $:-\$ as the rest of the parts, i know what i want and how it's gonna look - but the back wheel ? i'm not up to date which one to go for - and what i should be paying for it ? needs to be light / black / 9t or 10t - it's not going to be ridden that hard with flair to peg stall

but at the same time nothing to bad that it doesn't match the rest of the bike in parts ? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
