little spockets, talk to me

[nomad]

After riding in a park for the first time in 12 years last night I wanna make some changes to my bike. First being a new rear wheel and a little sprocket. So, whats gonna work for me? I wanna use my profiles still, and need a 14mm rear axle. What size sprocket and rear do I need? And is it even possible with the profiles?

u need 25 tooth sprocket and a 9 tooth rear cassette to match the usual 44-16 setup of the 90's

try to avoid 23t sprockets and 8 tooth cassettes as these tend to snap chains

they will work fine with ur profiles

speak to stodge at the radshop he will sort you out

Before you dive in, what frame u got? make sure you account for your brake lugs if they are on the chainstays , I.e will the chain clear the brake if you run small sprockets (if you run brake that is)

Kev s knows the deal - i use 25 - 9 too, its spot on.  You need brakes up on the seat stays so your chain don't cut through them - You might also need a spacer with a smaller sprocket as the chain might catch on the cranks - not sure if this is a problem on profile cranks, but it was for me with primo crank using a profile sprocket.

I think he's riding a standard with chainstay lugs

I am indeed, talking to Twobobrob last night and he suggested I might get away with a lower profile brake thou? bit of a bugger, dont wanna get all the bits and have it not work.

28/10 might be better with a chainstay brake.

lowest i could go with mine was 36/13 without the chain catching the brake.

what frame was that on, may well do the trick tbh

s & m challenger mucka.
here you can see it just misses.
i bought an odyssey evolver brake and that was to thick on the arms so had to stick with the tecto or whatever it was.

Nomad........if you want a 28t sprocket i have a colony one you can have mate.......even has the top hat washer as well 

it's plain old bare alloy so should go with any colour scheme


PM me your addy and i can send it off mate
