Comparing Sprockets - 36 Tooth VS 48 Tooth

- Managing to get that STOOPID hub adapter from BikeBerry to work, I'm able to compare the difference between riding with a 36 and 48 tooth sprocket.
I found the 36 tooth to have a much smoother power delivery. The ratio means the engine never quite runs out of puff, which means you can crack on at speeds where the engine tops out on the standard 44 tooth, without the crazy vibrations of high engine speeds.
The 48 tooth sprocket was better suited for the hilly areas I ride in. The extra torque really brings the bike alive and the quicker acceleration is super addictive. I didn't find I lost much in the top speed compared to the 44 tooth, but the higher torque makes it easier to cruise at speeds closer to top.
HOWEVER! The rubbish quality of BikeBerry's BBR Tuning Nexus Hub Adapter caused problems still, causing me to come to a screeching halt in the middle of the forest when it spat the bolts out of the sprocket at about 45 km/h!
In my next video, I'll make my repairs and savagely put the Mk4 bike through its paces on the 48 tooth sprocket, the ratio which is by far my favourite!
You get what you pay for dude
Exactly! I'll never give BikeBerry so much as a digital cent ever again!
I’d never put an aluminum sprocket on my bike
Never again - what absolute rubbish quality
The only time I've had good luck with hub adapters is on coaster brake hubs. What's worked really well for me is mounting the sprocket onto a disc brake hub. I made some studs by cutting down some bolts, threaded them into the hub with red loctite, and just slipped the sprocket on and held on with nuts. It's held up perfectly even with bump starting a high compression engine.
Incidentally, this hub adapter ended up destroying this wheel, snapping 6 spokes. There's a lot of hate for the rag joints, but I've never had one snap a single spoke
I used some old timing belt works great. The rubber that comes with is waxy
Looks like the 36 works for u ,looks like flat lands,here there are some steep hills on my heavy cruiser I run a 52t its has heavy baskets,building a speed bike now, 44t will get me up the hills and Iam a big guy so so
I live in a very hilly area, you never can tell on camera. The 36 did alright but I also preferred the 56 tooth for later builds
You might have already fixed it but one of your master link clip is on backwards. when you have the 48t sprocket on it. At 7:31 in the video. when you show how you put two master links.
Oh yeah this is long since changed. This frame wound up with a 4 stroke on it in the end
How NOT to put on master links 😂😅
Cool I have a 4 stroke on a electra cruiser 212cc
You might want to try a 9t drive sprocket up front for more torque.
I never thought about that!
Where to find a 9t front sprocket
Ebay Motorized bicycle 50cc 49cc 80cc 9t Sprocket
Might want to drill it out and put bolts all the way thru and nuts on backside helps a lot man
That rim is long gone man
Did you use locktite on the bolts?
No, stupid me forgot the loctite first time around. And this is what happens when you forget!
is it possible to lauch without pedalling from a stop for 36T?
Ummm..... How good is your clutch control?
It likely is, but I wouldn't recommend it
Concentric..😂🤣
4 yrs later and the fault is still yours. You modified the sprocket by drilling it. Don't blame BikeBerry for your screw up bud.
@@dandydan2037 feel better to get that off your chest buddy?
If the sprocket wasn't oval shaped to begin with, there never would've been a problem.
