htown01shee Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 I am going to be using a 22 " tire on my shee and the 18" tires i want to get somewhere in between the two in gearing. I am guessing I need to go to a front sproket that has less teeth. How may fewer teeth should I go to to get my gearing inbetween the two tires. i just don't want to loose too much bottom end. i had to go to the taller tire to get more clearance for trail riding. My skid plates would hang up or drag on everything. i only had about 2 inches of clearance with the 18" tires under my rear skid plate. Quote
odaen Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 to keep the same gearing, it's just an easy formula... current tire size/new tire size = current front sprocket/new front sprocket you'll end up with a decimal number, but just round to the nearest tooth. or you could be more accurate and change the front and rear sprockets to keep your ratio.

Bansh88 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 Drop a front tooth. Makes 1st gear almost unusable though. Then makes 6th unachievable. I just put my older shee back to stock. I like the taller gears in the dunes. Quote
