Hi riders,
I´m thinking about change my rear sprocket to a 44 teeth one. Actully my Mille has a 16 th front sprocket and I would like to know if I'll need to changing the chain.
In that case whats the right length for that?

Thank you all.

You shouldn't have to change the chain length. Just wind the rear wheel in.

Bike should go like stink.

Hey Hammertime,
First of all thank you for your answer.
Second, another question. Has you tried that combo (16/44)? Do you like it?

Unfortunately no. Sorry I can't help you on that one. I've got the standard sprocket at the back with a 16T at the front. It's the mod everyone recommends and for the sort of riding I do (London (UK) traffic jams and some 'A' road sprints) it's spot on.

It's easy enough to do... in fact, the hardest bit was getting the old 17T off! But once the 16T is on, just adjust the chain tension to suit.
