Title: new school wheel help please gearing qs
Post by: motomagII on March 26, 2012, 06:03 PM
okay so i ordered a custon build wheel today and based my choice on sale items lol
proper v2 microlight rear hub 11t driver ( the 11t was on sale in the colour i wanted)

now i do have a 28t profile chainring bur is this a bad gearing or okay/?
if bad what should it be 30/11?
this means i need a new cog or chainring .question is has anyone got a swap for right cog or chainring or wheres best to get one from which is best to change and do omnly proper cogs fit the proper hubs ?
next q is on this size gearing do you use half link chain or will any chain fit okay?

30t would be best with 11t driver. Normal chain should be OK aswell. Have a look on ebay for cheap 30t sprockets or even dare I say it winstanleys

Gearing will be too easy with 28/11 you'll be spinning like a hamster...  ;D

That'll be too hard, same as running 48/16

28/11 would be the same as 41/16

30/11 is the nearest to 44/16

Hopefully Greg will understand me converting em to old school...  :daumenhoch:
