Title: How many max teeth on B44 SS rear sprocket
Post by: AndrewB44 on 12 Aug, 2024, 20:50
Hey all, so as part of my B44 SS build, I've noticed my rear wheel sprocket has 52 teeth, but the manual says 47. Presuming I should source the correct one?

The 52 looks in decent nick but (as akin to a pushbike), popping a new chain (as I intend to) on an old sprocket may prematurely wear the latter out, so should I just buy a (47 tooth) rear sprocket?

thx

What do you want to use the bike for? Also - have you checked the number of teeth on the engine and gearbox sprockets?

Thanks for your reply, so the front sprocket looks to have around 18/19 teeth (hard to tell as it's in the bike). I'm not sure on the internal ones but should be standard.

I plan on using it for road riding (not offroad), local around here and club runs (planning to join when it's working).
