Where can I buy sprockets for my bike?
At PEER Chain, you can navigate our broad selection of sprockets by filtering items by hub type and chain size. Browse through our wide selection of sprockets by specifying the chain size you need. From 25 to 240, we provide the chain sizes you need without any of the hassle.
How do I know what size sprocket I have?
Sprocket Teeth: The sprocket Outside Diameter, Pitch Diameter, and Caliper diameter are all derived from the number of teeth. When the chain pitch is known, the most efficient and easiest method for identifying a sprocket size is to count the number of teeth. Bore Size: PEER Chain provides a wide range of finished bore and plain bore sprockets.
What are the different types of roller chain sprockets?
The overwhelming majority of roller chain sprockets fall into several major styles: Roller chain sprocket, conveyor chain sprockets (Double Pitch type chains), and engineering class/Specialty Sprockets. How Are Sprockets Measured? Outside Diameter: “Max” Diameter of the sprocket measured edge of tooth to edge of tooth 180 degrees across.
Should I replace the chain or the sprocket first?
If you have worn chain, you should replace the sprocket (s) at the same time. Newly installed chain on worn out sprockets will significantly increase wear on the chain.
How do I know what size sprocket to get?
To measure the chain size, if you have just the sprocket, use calipers to measure between the teeth. Measure from center to center of where the chain roller would set between the teeth that will give you the pitch. Once you know the pitch you can determine what chain size you would need.
Is it better for smaller or bigger front sprocket for speed?
A bigger rear sprocket/ smaller front sprocket will give you an increase in acceleration but decrease your top speed. A smaller rear sprocket/bigger front sprocket will reduce you acceleration but increase the top speed.
Does a bigger sprocket give more power?

Is it better to have more teeth on a sprocket or less?
Adding teeth to the front and rear sprockets have opposite effects. Installing a larger countershaft sprocket creates higher gearing, while a larger rear sprocket lowers gearing. Similarly, a smaller front sprocket lowers the gearing while a smaller rear sprocket makes the gearing higher.
How do I choose a sprocket combination?
To determine the final drive ratio, divide the rear sprocket size, say 49 teeth, by the front or countershaft sprocket size, say 13 teeth (like a new Yamaha YZ250F). In this case, the Final Drive Ratio is 3.77 - the front sprocket revolves 3.77 times to make one complete revolution of the rear sprocket.
Does 1 tooth on rear sprocket make a difference?
Note that changes made to the countershaft sprocket have a greater effect on overall gearing than changes to the rear sprocket. In the example above, reducing the countershaft sprocket by one tooth changes your gearing by about 6 percent, while adding one tooth to your rear sprocket changes your gearing only 2 percent.
What does less teeth on front sprocket do?
A front sprocket with fewer teeth works the chain harder and robs power, as the chain has to curl more to match the smaller diameter.

What does a bigger rear sprocket do?
Simply put, a bigger front sprocket means a higher top speed but slower acceleration, while a bigger rear sprocket causes the bike to accelerate faster but leads to a lower top speed.
How does sprocket size affect torque?
By increasing the difference in tooth count between the front and rear sprocket (and lowering the gearing) you are increasing the amount of torque that is applied through the rear wheel. The increase in torque means the wheel spins up easier and you accelerate faster.
Does gear size matter if the ratio is the same?
Re: If the gear ratio is the same, does sprocket size matter? The result will be the same for the gearing, the speed of the motor vs the speed of the car but to make the drive work without loosing lots of energy to friction in the gears and chain you have to do it right.
Are bigger gears more efficient?
The gear ratio is exactly the same, the only possible difference is in the efficiency of the power transmission. Big/Big is generally more efficient, so it should be better for both, unless there is some reason that greater power losses in the transmission chain help "spinners".
How Are Sprockets Measured?
Pitch Diameter: The pitch diameter is the theoretical circle measured from the center of one roller chain pin to the center of another roller chain pin 180 degrees across when the chain is wrapped around a sprocket.
How to Identify My Sprocket
Hub Type: All sprockets come in several different configurations to be affixed to a shaft. no hub (A-style); a hub projection from one side (B-style); hub projections from both sides of the sprocket (C-style); or sprocket hubs that accept bushings.
Should I Replace the Chain When I Replace Sprockets Using Sprocket Size Chart?
If you have worn chain, you should replace the sprocket (s) at the same time. Newly installed chain on worn out sprockets will significantly increase wear on the chain.
Understanding Nursery Stock Sizes
Most commonly, growers use caliper, container size, and height (inches or feet) for units of measurement for nursery stock. Why do we need multiple units? Because all plants are uniquely different and grow differently. In any of those 3 size units, it’s safe to equate a smaller number with age, weight, and price.
Nursery Stock: Containers
Container Grown Trees are very popular these days, but not all container sizes are equal. Containers are light-weight, easy to transport in bulk, and allows us to offer certain trees outside of standard harvest dates. A lower container number (i.e #5 Container) generally means a younger, lighter weight, and lower price plant.
Nursery Stock: Tree Caliper
Caliper is the measurement of the diameter of a tree trunk, in inches. These trees are planted as babies in farm fields and grown to more mature sizes. When they’re harvested, the root zone is wrapped in burlap, set in a wire cage to protect the root mass, and safely held together with twine – called balled & burlapped (B&B) plant stock.
Nursery Stock: Heights
Shrubs and evergreens that are larger than a #25 container measure by height - inches or feet. These plants are field-grown, balled & burlapped stock. The concept is the same as our discussion about trees and caliper size above.
