Gearing question

[BansheeRider87]

I have 22" rear tires now with stock sprockets. I'll be using 20" rear tires on my new sshee build but want the gearing of 22" tires. Need help picking my sprocket sizes.

well 22 divided by 20 is 1.1

 

14 x 1.1 is 15.4

 

41 divided by 1.1 is 37.27

 

so you either need to go to a 15-16 tooth front sprocket or a 37-38 tooth rear to get close if your only planning to buy one gear. you can always do a 15-40 combo and get even closer.

 

without actualy measuring the roll out of your tires and crunching more numbers to fine tune it thats a good start.

 

i'm assuming your riding on somewhat flat ground since your willing to lose the height of the tire?

I ride trials and open fields. I didn't like my 22 tires but did like the gearing. My buddy has 18s on his ltr so i guess height isnt an issue. Thanks for the input
