i currently run a 54t sprocket and i like it but ive been thinking bout goin to a 64t sprocket. so the question is to those who have switched or run that size or bigger why do ya run that size of a sprocket?

and yes i know i could search for answers but i rather not spend hours going through crap just to get the answers

 

just get a 1 tooth smaller front and you won't even have to get a new chain. 1 tooth down in the front is equal to about 3 teeth up in the rear.

 

if you stall out a lot learning new circles, the big sprocket helps with that somewhat

 

unless your doing circles or at least in the process of leraning them, I wouldn't go up in size

I actually struggle to ride my friends bike that is -1 +20, I gotta do idles in 2nd gear, first is just too low unless I crank the idle way up

 

 

the bigger the sprocket the more the bike pulls down low , pizza pan sprockets for life

 

as long as your sticking to the lots your bike is gonna be alot more fun to ride with that 64. and as to the last comment about searching im with you on that. the search engine on this site blows and takes forever to find what you want. so to all you negative people out there who always get mad at repost....if you dont like it dont look at it!

 

+1....gearing rocks!

 

i have a -1 front and 56 rear. i got rid of the -1 and it helped me progress a lot faster because it was less touchy. then switch back to the -1. after that, i want more gearing, but for now its perfect for my no-circle style.

 

I have a 71 tooth and love it. Get used to the twitch and everything will come easy! Used to run small gears but I will never go back now.

 

i love pizza

 

I probably got the front sprockets in stock

 

+ 1

and i have been at this for awhile i just want to progress and its sounding like going bigger is better thanks to everyone for the positive input

 

Agreed. Big gearing is so much fun once you get used to it.

 

yep.
