IV GOT 16T FREEWHEEL ON AT THE MO, AND 44 T CW BUT WANT TO CHANGE MY CHAINWHEEL TO 47T. WOULD THIS WORK  :idiot2:

TwoBobRob:
Absolutely!  You might need to lengthen your chain. And the bike will be geared up significantly i.e. slower acceleration but ultimately a higher top speed   ;)  Longer cranks would help you spin it up   :daumenhoch:

kuwahero:
yeah it would work. just means that for one revolution of the cranks you will travel a further distance.

however it will be harder to pedal. but once you get going it should be faster and less spinny if your doing a lot of pedaling.

why do you want to change it? as there may be other ratios to achieve same thing

TwoBobRob:
Yeah, you could bang on one of those 15t freewheels. That would have a very similar effect and you wouldn't have to lengthen the chain.

insideoutland:
THANK GUYS ;) , I WAS AFTER THIS CERCTAIN CHAINWHEEL BUT IT ONLY COMES IN 17T :-\
 WHAT BOUT RUNNING A 14T FW ON A 44T CW I GUESS THIS WOULD WORK OK THEN :-\
