Specifications

• Size:

  • M6 Bolt: The sprocket is mounted using an M6 bolt, which is a common size for securing components like chainrings and sprockets to the axle. This ensures a stable and secure attachment.
  • 5mm Shim: A 5mm shim is included to allow the sprocket to fit perfectly on certain trike hubs or axles, compensating for any gaps that might exist due to variations in axle size or sprocket fitment. The shim ensures a snug fit, preventing any wobbling or misalignment.

• Axle Size:

  • The sprocket is designed to fit a 5/8 inch axle, a standard size commonly found in trikes and other bicycles with larger rear axles. This allows the sprocket to be used on trikes with axles of the corresponding size, ensuring compatibility and proper installation.

• Fits Chain:

  • The sprocket is compatible with 1/2 x 1/8 inch chains, a common size used in many single-speed bicycles and trikes. This size is standard for many lowrider and custom bikes, ensuring that the sprocket will work well with existing chain systems.

• Material:

  • Steel Sprocket: The sprocket itself is made from steel, known for its high strength and long-lasting durability. Steel is ideal for heavy-duty applications, providing strength under load and resisting wear over time.
  • Steel Bolt and Shim: Both the bolt and shim are also made from steel, contributing to the overall durability and reliability of the component. The use of steel ensures that the sprocket, bolt, and shim can withstand the stress and forces typically experienced by trike setups.

• Sprocket:

  • 25t Sprocket: The sprocket features 25 teeth, making it a great choice for trikes that need a good balance between torque and speed. A 25-tooth sprocket typically provides smooth pedaling and effective power transfer, especially for casual riders or those looking for a more relaxed ride.
  • 5/8 x 24t Compatibility: Although the sprocket itself is 25t, it can also be compatible with some configurations that require 5/8 x 24t sprockets, offering some versatility depending on the setup.

• Color:

  • The sprocket, bolt, and shim are all finished in a stylish chrome color. The chrome plating not only enhances the visual appeal of the component, giving it a shiny, reflective surface, but also provides additional protection against corrosion, helping to extend the lifespan of the sprocket and its associated parts.

• Brand:

  • Vintage Lowrider: Known for producing quality lowrider bike components, Vintage Lowrider ensures that this trike sprocket is built to high standards, with an emphasis on both functionality and design.

Applications

The Trike Fixed Sprocket 25t Bolt & Shim HH-520 Chrome is specifically designed for use on tricycles and is ideal for:

• Trike Custom Builds: This sprocket is perfect for custom lowrider trikes, providing not just functionality but also an attractive chrome finish that complements the unique style of lowrider and custom tricycle builds.

• Single-Speed Trikes: This sprocket works best on single-speed setups, where a fixed gear is often preferred. Its robust design and easy compatibility with 1/2 x 1/8 inch chains make it an excellent choice for trikes used for cruising or casual riding.

• Lowrider Trikes: The chrome finish and steel construction give it a high-end, durable look and feel, which is essential for the heavy-duty needs of lowrider trikes that undergo frequent use and customization.

Performance Considerations

• Torque Efficiency: The 25t sprocket provides a reasonable balance of torque and speed, ensuring that riders can maintain a smooth, enjoyable ride without excessive pedaling effort or gear strain. The sprocket size is particularly effective for riders looking for a relaxed pedaling experience.

• Durability: The steel construction ensures longevity, with both the sprocket, bolt, and shim being able to withstand the forces generated during pedaling. This ensures less wear and tear and greater overall longevity, even under regular use.

• Fit and Alignment: The M6 bolt and 5mm shim provide an easy and secure installation, ensuring that the sprocket stays in place and functions correctly. The shim helps to guarantee that the sprocket aligns perfectly with the chain and axle, preventing chain derailment or any wobbling of the sprocket.
