That's interesting to know. What formula do you use to arrive at that? Let's pretend there are no physical (bike) limitations. For the sake of the exercise, assume there is 50HP coming through a drive shaft and the only other constant is the distance from the centre of the drive shaft to the...

Thanks Baluncore I am of the opinion that the weight of the chain and sprockets will also have an effect on acceleration. I'm only really interested in accelerating quicker using the same ratios. I can go from a 520 gauge chain to a 420 gauge and change the sprockets to suit; the rollers are...

Thanks. You can delete that introduction.

Looking for online help with math and other questions.

In this scenario, the only values that change are the sprocket sizes, weight and the number of teeth. My question relates to efficient use of available power. On a motorcycle, I have a front sprocket with 14 teeth and a rear sprocket of 48 teeth. The chain length is 120 links and it is a 520...
