Sprockets!

[bansheeryder21]

What do all you sand riders recomend for aftermarket sprockets in the sand! My friends have -1 (13) on the front and +3 (44) on the back!

A 13-44 is the same or equal to a 14-41 which is stock. So there gearing is just wearing the chain faster because of the smaller front sprocket.

13-44 is not the same as 14-41. No where close. 13-44 is the same as 12-41 and so forth. Most of the guys with mostly stock bikes run 13-41-43. If you do not want to buy a new chain you can get a 13 front and see how you like it. You will not be able to fit a 13-44 on the stock length chain. After you try the 13 front and you decide you like it then buy a new chain and run no smaller than a 14 and just get a bigger rear to match the ratio you want. 14-44 is the same as 13-41. You can look on manufactors of sprockets and see the ratio charts.

My apologies lead, you are correct. I guess I was a little out of it when reading the post.

my friends run 13-44 and they used their stock chain.

Read my sig.

 

I use a 14/43 set up, works really nice, can run 4th up any hill, 5th up some, 5th and 6th down the flats.

Mods listed in sig..... I just put a 15 tooth up front. Anyone with similiar mods run 15/41 in the dunes?

 

Hope so, didnt plan on switching between 14 and 15.

here is the gearing chart again! it is downloadable if you want a better copy email me.

Yea I am using the stock chain.

Banshdog you'd be better off running a 14/41 or even a 13/41 with those extremes on there. Banshees hook up on spin and don't like to be lugged. I've found that people that don't use a very aggressive or tall paddle can keep stock gearing. Those out there who actually like some bite to their tires need to drop the gearing a little on a mildly modified shee.
