I'll be after a new chain & sprocket kit soon.
My chains don't last as long as they should. I ride through the winter & the salt / grit plays havoc, despite chain lube.
Just looked on the Wemoto site.Jap spares dealer, recomend them Different size sprockets are available, who's a whiz kid here?
1)If I went up one tooth on the front, this would make the bike rev less? 15 is standard, so would a 16, drop the acceleration pro rata, & do the same for the fuel consumption? Just used the calculator, 6,6% difference?
2)Also the front sprocket gets knackered quicker than the rear, so would this have any effect on chain life?
3) Would this be very noticeable riding the bike?
4) Would a standard chain still fit?
5) Should I be considering changing the rear as well?
6) Stick with standard sprockets? I commute about 50 miles a day down a motorway.
All thoughts welcome. I'll be refitting my Loobman. (cheap & cheerful manual Scottoiler type thing)
