Concussion Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) Does anyone use a chunky rear sprocket (16-17-18 ?) with say.. a 11 tooth Shimano one next to it.....spacers either end blah blah? Any problems with shifting?What's the best chunky sprocket and why does only Chris K do 18's?Please help / any other bright idea's for the two speed enthusiasts?Oh` and when they say `prevents` digging into freehub body.... what they really mean is `no chance` right?

craigjames Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I use 2 sprockets, and a bolt bodge on the mech to shift with. Works well, and the bolt bodge alows awesome chain alingment. I just use a standard 14t sprocket, just for the distance riding.Its never been much trouble. do you have a pic of the bodges you made? as im really interested in doing thisone gear for trials and one for riding/bigger pedallier stuff.cheers craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concussion Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Cool... that's me sorted, well with my current Shimano sprockets anyways!I had to bodge some small / thin spacers next to the 12T sprocket so the chain would sit on the teeth nicely. Think I'll leave the shifter on, so I don't have to get off the bike to change gear.Question remains the same though: Would it shift with a chunky (prevents from digging in) sprocket, as it doesn't have HG slots, and would proberbly not line up next to my 12T?

dave85 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 It'll shift, just slowly and not very happily if you try it under power. You may also have to shift past it then back. But it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I could take that, rather than get the allen keys out!ie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
