Why 17/45 Sprockets on Hawk 250?
Why are the majority of the Hawk owners going with 17/45 sprockets (2.65)? Why not 15/40(2.67)? It will be close to the same ratio and would only need to change the rear sprocket. I know I would have to cut the chain but that's easy stuff. This would shorten the chain by 2 links. Shorter chain less stretching. The 45 tooth sprockets are $25 and not in stock but I can get a 40 tooth for under $19. Has anyone done this combo with any issues? Just think outside the box.

I'm running 16/40 combo that's been working well for me.

I've thought about this as well. I'm currently running a 17/45 and have toyed with the idea of going to a 17/43???
If I were to do it again, I think perhaps a 16/43 (2.69) may be the sweet spot to start. Easier and cheaper to change the front if you want to make further changes, dropping all the way down to a 40 rear seems extreme to me, and a 43 rear leaves you options of adjusting the front to a 15, 16, or 17? Is a 14 front available, or too small IDK... |
