Hi ........... noob question alert.............

Other than number of teeth, what are the differences with 43/44/45/46 T chain rings? I am guessing it is torque related?

If you swap them, what else do you need to swap?

Have tried a search on this but it brings up mainly for sale stuff.....

CHEERS!!!

stidds:
The lower the number of teeth the easier it will be to pedal, but you will also have a lower top speed too.

The thing you have to watch is that with more teeth on the chainring you will require more chain (or less chain with less teeth on the chainring), which means that you may have to add or remove chain links.

I am hunting a few bits down and it seems mission impossible on 43T!! I wondered if it changed the rear chain wheel.

Really helped me there! Cheers... I wont be riding this at speed unless am being chased by thieves! :)

I'm having a similar problem. I'm undecided (havent got a clue!) what freewheel to go for. I'm getting a selection of chainrings & I'm going to have a play once my bike has been built. I never thought about chain length though  :-[

Jaypeg:
Owner of a bike shop I know swears that the best way to work out what chain wheel you need is to divide the number of teeth by 2.77
