Title: 40 tooth chain wheel
Post by: Bfellows on October 06, 2013, 02:57 PM

I have a number of Sugino chainwheels - mostly 43 and 44 teeth, but among them I have just noticed a 40 tooth........ I was going to fit it on a TA, but wondered if it might look a bit small?  What would a 40 tooth usually be fitted to?

I believe they were fitted to Burners as standard but are also used on cruisers.

It looks quite tidy fitted.  Unlike the fat front tyre which is not floating my boat one bit.......
