Different sprockets for 650s'

[durgam_K]

IM running a Katana rear wheel and suspension on my Cafe project. Stock gearing for XS is 17-34, if i recall. Stock Katana is 15-47. And the smallest rear sprocket for a Katana i can find is 42, which is way too big for what i want, and I cant find any other size for 650's but 17t. does anyone else make anything different. maybe a 520 conversion??? or a smaller tooth front? I can get a Katana 520 conversion in a 39 if needed. Any help is appreciated

right 17/34 stock which is 2:1 the smallest you can go on the front of the xs is a 15 with your 42 rear that is 2.8:1 in other words ok if you want a trench digger not so good for riding some of the sprocket co. will make special sprockets but what you need to look at is the diameter of the Katana hub, how small of a sprocket can be fitted to it?

Mikes has a 18t 520. with that and the katana 39T i found gives me 2.16:1. Right? That will be a little off from stock, but Im running a slieghtly smaller rear wheel. A 130/70-17, or a 120/80-17.

ooops went the wrong way on my thinking, yes 18t would give you 2.16 still a little low but ok the xs has a liberal rev range you'ld definatly be "up on the pipe" at highway speeds but whatever, makes no difference 520 or 530 unless you need the spacing offset with a cafe you might be wanting the snap of the lower gearing out of the corners anyway

I doubt this will see much highway time. My CB1100F kicks ass on the freeways.
