as title, does anyone ride with a chainring larger than 44t
-
Only just. My latest build is 45-16.
180 cranks too.
-
got 45 17 on my Auburn :)
-
only asking cos i only go 44t but could pedal more.
i just wondered as i've seen rings upto 47t, surely these would hit the chainstay on a lot of old school's as some already have marks there even with 44t fitted
-
Richie4 regularly used to use 45,46t ,won o/s north region series in 2012 :daumenhoch:
I've seen a 47 in his collection :shocked:
-
i'm not saying it's wrong or not done
just don't see many builds with them (saying that i bet i do now)
-
Bigger than 45 is not the norm,but lower than 43 is a no go for a race bike in my opinion :),Nowhere fast.
-
Not much call for 45+teeth, by the time people wanted harder gearings, smaller rear sprockets and compatible hubs came about. One of my favourite pro racers Kenny May ran 41-14, which equates to 46-16.
-
well do many use a 46 or 47 on a rider then (not racing just riding around)
i appreciate the newer bikes have smaller cogs that most likely equal this type front sprocket
but i would like to know if anyone actually has these big cogs fitted, and could they post a pic even more so if it's the 47
