FRONT DRIVE / CHAIN DRIVE

BUY FRONT DRIVE / CHAIN DRIVE FOR YOUR BIKE AT SUNDSTORPS CYKEL

The front drive or chain drive on your bike is the drive that is mounted on the crank. It is this drive that is your power transmission to the chain which in turn drives the rear drive or cassette. The size of the front sprocket is counted in the number of teeth it has. Usually between 22-54 teeth depending on the type of bike and the number of front sprockets. by changing the front sprocket to one with a different number of teeth, you can affect the gear ratio of your bike. A larger front sprocket gives a higher resistance but also the opportunity to drive faster without "pedaling out" the bike. So when the eels spin so fast that you can not handle a higher cadence. If you change the front drive on your bike, it is also good to change the cassette and chain as these are often worn together. Having a well-functioning drive package (cassette, chain and front drive) is crucial for the bike to work properly.

Front drives also have different BCD (screw hole patterns) Some have 104mm diameter others 96mm or even "direct mount". Getting clarity on what fits your particular crankset is crucial before buying a new front blade. Contact us if you have any questions.
