Anyone got a linkt to a LOWER geared sprocket for the hawk?

Getting up over 5,000 feet on some single track and a lower gear would be VERY helpful.......

WOW!, lower than stock? you must be climbing some SERIOUSLY GNARLY terrain!
as to the sprockets, I saw one countershaft sprock on alibaba or alibaba express some months ago. sorry, don't remember, but I *THINK* it was a tooth lower than stock.
maybe send a message to humanbeing that guy can find ANYTHING

I don't have a hawk but from what I recall on this forum I think most people get the JTR269 rear sprocket and JTF259 for the front sprocket (can find them on amazon).

Yup, those are the ones.

Example would be either going to a 52 rear, or 14t front. I would suggeest going up in the rear as when you decrease the front sprocket size that far, you start wearing your chain and chain guards quicker.

Something like this for the rear,

Or this for the front

Looks like they go down to 12

2 teeth on the rear wouldn't make much difference, I'd go bigger yet on the rear, though your chain probably won't be long enough.

The early GY-2 china bikes came with a 55T rear and most were removed as these bikes came ridiculously low geared....so there should be plenty of them around.

I'll take a look in the garage, I think I may have one I'll likely never use. Your's for shipping.

I still have the Stock 56t that came with my Bashan WILL, it's sitting around and wont be used, for our riding needs the 56t is too slow for street/highway riding we need... I replaced it with a JTR269 sprocket with only 25 - 30km on the original sprocket, like wilser said, 'if you want it, it can be yours for the low cost of shipping'

With a 428, you can go as small as 12 teeth in the front, but the chain can't properly articulate around anything smaller. Off-road stuff is generally at lower RPM, so a 12 will live a long enough life.

With a 12 in the front and a 56 on the rear, be prepared to climb trees.

Are either of these sprockets still available?
