sidrug Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 It would be nice to be able to use a smaller chainwheel on a multispeed bike.So I just wondered if it would be possible to fit an 8 tooth sprocket next to the 11t sprocket on a multispeed cassette driver. If a bmx 8t driver was threaded on the outside it could replace the cassette lockring?Or possibly holes could be drilled so it could be bolted onto the lockring?So the hub would become sometheing like 5-10mm wider, if the cassette driver is not sawed shorter, which may or may not be possible in some hubs..so maybe it would be possible to bend out the frame by this small amount?Is there any other way to get an 8t-22t multispeed?

pogo Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Couldn't you leave the cassette alone and increase the number of teeth on the front sprocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrug Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 yes I could do that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 It will mean less trouble in the long run, what cranks are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogo Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 What gearing are you using for trials, 30t is massive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrug Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 yea, it is. 1st gear is 30 teeth too so 1:1 but I almost never use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
