Gear ratio conversion
« on: July 05, 2015, 07:20:05 pm »
Ok here I go, I have a 8" pulley on my motor, a 6" on a 1.92 to 1 gearbox. Right now I'm running a 12t driver to a 44t axle sprocket with 15" rear tires. I want to convert my belt to a chain clutch on motor and sprocket on gearbox. What am I running now and what should I buy for teeth on clutch and teeth on gearbox??? Does this make since to you all  :confused:
Thanks, boxcar

Right now you have a 5.29-1final ratio.
So just a couple of examples to duplicate your ratio with chain and sprockets 16 teeth on clutch 12teeth on gearbox,20 teeth on clutch 15 teeth on gearbox.
Hope this helps

Thanks, I didn't realize I'd have to go so small on the gearbox.

You could change 12 tooth on rear to 16 tooth and use 18 tooth clutch and 18 tooth on gear box and maintain your current final ratio
