TR1 Gearing
25.10.18 at 11:03:57
 
Hi,

I am building a TR1 Café, and hoping to get some advice on gearing. Bike is being fitted with 17" wheels, and planning to fit 16 / 29 530 Sprockets. Could anyone comment on if this is good, or other options.

I am also selling quite a few TR1 parts if anyone is looking for something.

Regards Trevor
Sydney, Australia

This site is nice for calculating gearing/tire options: https://www.gearingcommander.com/

I think my first consideration would be if you can actually fit a 530/29t rear on there, that is quite small. I have 530 19t/38t gearing on mine and a 170/60-17" rear tire.

Thank You for the reply. I really do not know, other than a thread in this forum saying 29T was a good option. I would like bike to be doing under 4,000 RPM at 100km.

With the 17" wheel fitted, can you please advise what speed / revs your bike runs in top gear.

Again appreciate any help

Regards Trevor

Hello Trevor,
16 /530 is not a good choice, the chain will get in contact with the swing arm. And these small sprockets will be  worn very fast
19/530 is good (bigger is difficult, it won´t fit), for the rear sprocket and a 17 inch wheel a 38 or 39 could be OK,
regards Ali

Hi Ali,

Thanks for the reply. I check the JT sprocket site, and it does not look like I can purchase off the shelf, the sizes you recommended. Did you have them custom made ?. If so are you able to advise details.

Thanks for your help
Trevor

Hi Trevor,
yes, there are no 19/530 sprockets available, therefor i intended a collective Order here in Germany. The Sprocket-Shop asked 140 EU for one-time preparing the machines to make  the inner toothing and Bores, plus the pre-processed sprocket and shipping.
The more i order the cheaper it is.
I could order one more, but surely the shipping costs to were you live are silly,
Regards Ali

Hi Ali,

Thanks for your help with gearing. I found a place in USA that can make both front and rear sprockets with required splines / bolt holes.

They were quite reasonable, considering it was a custom job.

Next adventure, mating GSXR600 front to bike......


Regards Trevor
