Crankset question

Hello,

I'm new to bike mechanics. Do not break my balls suckers.

Riding a single speed freewheel. I have a Sugino messenger 44T crankset and my rear sprocket is a shimano 16T. I want a slightly harder gear. Can I get a larger 'crank ring' separately (possibly the wrong terminology) without changing the crank/pedal arm (again, don't diss me if i said it wrong) and the bottom bracket?

Thanks for any help.

yes

mmmmmm Bop.

Thank you ladies or the concise set of replies so far.....

fuck you then

probably cheaper to get yourself a different freewheel

yes but you need to work out the BCD of the chainring (it's the distance between the bolt holes) and be sure the new ring is the same

report him, pip

to 14 yeah but you would struggle going lower than that

yeah man he is going into the 2009 thread.. fkr!

Sugino Messengers usually have the BCD written on them, check that before buying another chainring :)

yo momma

thanks booga

sugino messenger cranks have a 130 bcd chainring

Yeah I thought this may be the case. Cheers dude. PCD = 130mm

Cheers for the help.

So do you think I'd notice a fairly marked difference if I went to a 48T chainring?

yes.

Be sure to buy a 1/8 or 3/32 depending on your chain

Also, state the nature of the issue in the tread title, don't just call it Newbie Question, ff's sake.

Running a KMC Z chain.....

No point in getting yourself all aggressive and upset.
