Weird sprockets in Finland
- Thread starter Wingboy
- Start date
Interesting. I would imagine it would be okay for bikes with less horsepower. Put that on a litre bike and those few teeth that are there are going to get bent real fast. It stretches the chain less because only 10 teeth are pulling on the chain at a time. Personally I wouldn't put this on my bike.
Strange concept, I can understand it would be easier on chain wear, but then wouldnt the sprocket take the beating with all the stress only being distributed over a few teeth instead of about 30 teeth on a normal sprocket
The front sprocket has only 10 teeth or so in mesh at a time, and don't wear out any faster than the rear, maybe it works.
Just rolled into MikeyMoto's shop "I think my chain is making weird noises..."
Did that come off your bike??

"That is a step above putting water in the tires for traction." :lmao:
How cheap do you have to be to try something like that? Decent chain these days will last 30K+ as long as you lube it once in a while and people are trying to save a buck here?
Reminds me of the guy who cut out ram air openings out of his frame
Nope, just saw it posted on Mikeymoto's facebook page
Bahahaha.
It's obviously a trials bike.Trials is all about light weight.No need to be insulting.Nothing about cheap in this.
Way way back we used to have a mud sprocket. Take your biggest sprocket and grind every third tooth off, now you have a mud sprocket. Never spit a chain again... in the mud.
We also ran solid rotors in the mud, same idea; they picked and held on to less crap.
Mud will ruin a brand new top of the line chain in one race.

Seriously how much weight are you gonna save with this?
Im pretty sure you can take a leak before you get on he bike and youd shed more weight lol
I normally take a dump before every ride, save 2lbs
Mud sprocket, hmmm. Do you have anymore info on that? I spit a chain in a hole at the cord yesterday that cost me the win.
And there will be a solid rear rotor in my future. I burned off a set of rear pads in the first 40k of the race on Saturday which made me have to run the second half of the race with no rear brake. Not fun on muddy downhills.
