Can i run a 50t and a 55t sprocket
Can i run a 50t rear sprocket and a 55t rear sprocket on the same length of chain?
Currently set up -1/+10 for the lots but still wanna ride on the highway with randoms who aren't down for the parking lot pimpin.
i was hoping i could swap the rear sprocket to a 50t on random days to be -1/+5 so i could ride other places without breaking the chain and swapping it for a shorter chain

But as for the master link, i almost snapped on, lost the stupid clip somewhere on the highway but luckily she stayed together. Thats why i was hoping to find a rear sprocket i could swap in an out when i wanted to switch from having fun to riding in a straight line all boring like and use a riveted master link

It is Bullshit... Stock 16/43 takes 108 Links, 16/50 takes 112 links
there is NO Physical way to even have a chain stretched 4 links worth
I've also had 3 900RR's with +5 sprockets on them and had to get a
new chain on ALL of them...

Yeah. At highway speed it will be like a 600 rpm difference. I had a 56 on my f4i, it was fine for circles and still enough to lose cops on the highway. If you have a 55 now, just stick with it.
Ive lost clips too. Never had the link fall apart, but its scary enough knowing theres no clip on there. When i get a clip style link now, I jb weld the clip to the face.

If the chain was reallllly bad, and the wheel was already all the way back maybe.
