sprocket sizing!!!!

[lachie.g]

ok here we go. i just got a new wheel and i the hub has 12 or 11 teeth i cant remember. what should be a good sprocket to run on the front?? it would be greatly apreciated and also i am riding dirt.

30 tooth suits 11 nicely

 

[lachie.g]

would it make a difference to run a 28 tooth??

Yes, your gearing will be slightly easier.

would it make a difference to run a 28 tooth??

Of course it would make a differance, becuase it is not the same, the differance would not be drastic, but would be noticeabely easier compared to a 30t.

for every tooth on the back u shud have 3t on front
eg 13 on back 36 on front

Your math is flawed. 13 times 3 is 39.

30 suits 11, 33 suits 12, however if you're going to be riding dirt, I'd suggest 33-11, and 36-12.
