Mississippi Bullfrog Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 They look like they're based on the VanVan, which also benefits from going one tooth smaller on the front cog. It lowers the gearing so that in top gear the low torque engine is spinning faster which enables it to hold higher gear for longer. It also gives slightly better acceleration. That's not uncommon on smaller engined bikes. Quote
Welsh rider Posted February 27, 2021 Author Posted February 27, 2021 Okay I thought the bigger the spocket more top end ?? I have odder a 17 tooth lol the stock is 13 Quote

I have odder a 17 tooth lol the stock is 13 The maths of that forgets that a small engine doesn't have the torque for the higher gearing. Downhill with wind behind you then you would reach a higher speed but in reality many 125s can't hold top gear on the open road as wind resistance builds up. My Van Van would accelerate in 5th to 60, then I'd go into 6th and gradually lose speed until I would have to drop back into 5th. I went down one tooth on the front and it would hold 6th up to 68mph where it hit the limiter. But it could hold a steady 65 in 6th even on slight inclines. If you replace a 13 front with a 17 you'll get nowhere fast. The engine won't have enough power for the gearing. Edited February 28, 2021 by Mississippi Bullfrog Quote
