I have discussed with you the importance of maintaining the chain before. Riders should regularly wash and adjust the chain, and they can also choose to replace the more durable oil-sealed chain. But you may have overlooked another part of the transmission system - the chainring, which is also a waste One of the products, of course, there is room for modification and upgrading. When should head and tail teeth be replaced? From time to time, some knights say that they want to change the tail teeth for their car. What is the effect? What is the difference in the materials used for the head and tail teeth of the sub-factory? This time, let's explore the details of the motorcycle chainring!

The chainring will wear out and must be checked and replaced regularly

The chainring is an important part of the transmission system of a motorcycle. All vehicles driven by a chain must have two front and rear gears, and the chain drives the gears to move the wheels. Due to the long-term contact friction between the chain and the chainring, the metal of the chainring will also wear away over time. Cavaliers can check the chainring on the car from time to time. If the grooves of the chainring become larger and the teeth on the chainring become sharp and crooked, it means that it is time to replace the new chainring, otherwise, the driving may sound unpleasant. The sound of the chain, what's more, there is a problem with the power transmission, which will affect driving safety, and the consequences may be unimaginable.

It is more refreshing to change the tail teeth and improve the teeth than to accelerate at the start

Speaking of motorcycle chainrings, the concept of gear ratio has to be mentioned. There are various types of motorcycles. Some have particularly strong head torque and acceleration, while others have relatively high tail speed. In addition to the adjustment of the power output curve on the engine, the gear ratio of the head and tail teeth also has an impact. Divide the number of teeth on the rear teeth by the number of teeth on the head teeth to get the gear ratio of a motorcycle. The higher the gear ratio, the higher the acceleration force, but the tail speed will be slightly reduced; on the contrary, the lower the gear ratio, the higher and more stable tail speed, but the acceleration response will be slower. In order to pursue more "cool" acceleration, some riders will modify the large tail teeth with a higher number of teeth, and correspondingly, the turning frequency should be more frequent. Although this kind of modification sacrifices the tail speed, the difference is usually only a few kilometers per hour. Moreover, on the roads in Hong Kong, most motorcycles seldom use extreme speed. Therefore, it is an option that many knights will consider changing the tail teeth in exchange for acceleration.

The sub-factory’s chainring focuses on lightweight, rich colors, and both appearance and performance.

When the knight replaces the head and tail teeth, in addition to the number of teeth, he can also pay attention to the difference in materials. Some chainrings produced by the sub-factory will be made of higher-grade carbon steel. The biggest advantage is that they are lightweight, and the weight can be 70% lighter than the original chainring! Don't underestimate the weight of this chainring. As an important part that drives the power of the entire motorcycle, the lighter weight means that the power output and acceleration of the entire motorcycle will be significantly improved, especially for riders who need to ride double and carry loads. The feeling of lightness will be more obvious after modification.

In addition to performance, the appearance of the sub-factory chainring also has more room for change. The original chainrings are usually black or silver, which is relatively monotonous. Cavaliers who are pursuing the appearance of the vehicle can consider replacing the colored oil seal chain and chainrings to add more colors to the car! After replacing the colored oil-sealed chain and chainring, it not only looks good, but also can obviously feel the chain rotation is smoother when driving, and the disturbing chain sound will be greatly reduced, which can bring completely different enjoyment to the rider.

The gear plate cooperates with the chain to maintain a long service life

Generally speaking, if it is properly maintained, a good chainring can travel more than 30,000 kilometers, but the rider needs to oil the chain regularly, and also avoid rust of the chain and the chainring due to the sun and rain. It depends on the habits of individual riders. If you are not sure about the condition of the chainring, it is recommended to go to the garage to find a professional master to check. Helmet King not only provides professional full car inspection services but also sells chainrings of various sub-factory brands. There must be a style that suits your car! Why don't you take this opportunity to bring your car to inspect and refit and upgrade, so as to improve your driving experience to a new level?
