SPROCKET HELP-beating a dead horse I know

[Marthy]

Am I correct in thinking that the larger diameter/ higher tooth count sprockets should last longer? Seems like you are spreading the load out over more teeth.

You are right. Going to a bigger sprocket is easier on the chain and distribute the load on a larger surface. This is why is better to go with a bigger rear sprocket than a smaller front. In my case... +/- 2 tooth on the rear is not where the issue was. 1- Aluminum sprocket have the advantage of being light but doesn't last as long. 2- I did order the wrong one last time

By the way, Indysuperbikes rep just called... f*&^ 3 week back order on the sprocket that I want! CC did you get the last one... or you're stuck too? I told him to find one in steel... we'll see. I'll be installing my 46T until then before my chain get all screw up.

When he call me this morning he told me another gentleman ordered one for the same bike also... When he ask me if I want something else I told him I could live with a steel 44T sprocket... let's see what he got! Other than that I'll be waiting for it too. about 3 weeks he said. I'll be riding 17/46 for a bit...

17/46 vs. 17/44

I can feel a good difference on acceleration from the first gear. The bike feel more happy! But from the top gear I didn't notice a difference in acceleration. If I didn't know I had a different sprocket I wouldn't notice. But I can feel the bike reving more... I was missing those 300 RPM last night. I went for a good dinner and watch the sunset with my wife in Key Largo. (300 miles round trip)
