Mark W Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hey all, Bought a new wheel, and it's come with a 13t sprocket. Just curious at to whether any riders here run a 13t sprocket? I know what the differences will be (faster acceleration, etc.), but does it work out as being better than 18:12? Thanks, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mark. ← If your using 158-165mm cranks there should be no problem, its only a tiny bit lower geard. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly C Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 You should be running 18-12t for sure mark.. other gears are ok, but may hinder your riding without you realising it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Yeah, I thought so. Was like that when trying to get the right 22:1? gearing on the T-Bone. Think I'll just get a new sprocket somehow. It just sucks they're a tenner new, or £20 for a Monty one, or £21 for a Try-All one. *sigh* Thanks all. Hopefully, I'll be swapping my 13 for Mod661's 12, so it should be dandy. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I run 18:13 Im too cheap to sort it. I went from 20:13 to it and its a big difference. I had to slow down my run ups (which is a good thing for me) to get the same power through the cranks. Ive got used to it now (about 2 weeks riding) and I love it. Just run it Im sure you will get used to it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I used to run it, at first I hated it. But as I got used to it I felt more confident, but recently I have brought a profile with a 10t driver and got some Burns for the front with the 16t Ti sproket. This is a slightly harder gear ratio and I loved it! Harder is better (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
