Specifications

• Teeth: 46T

  • The 46-tooth sprocket offers a balanced combination of speed and torque. This number of teeth is ideal for riders who enjoy a smooth, efficient ride on urban streets, BMX tracks, or cruising through neighborhoods. The 46T sprocket provides a good level of pedaling efficiency without being too demanding, allowing for a comfortable balance between acceleration and top-end speed, which is especially helpful for riders who want a mix of leisurely rides and occasional bursts of speed.

• Chain Compatibility: 1/2" x 1/8"

  • This sprocket is specifically designed for a 1/2" x 1/8" chain, a common chain type used on single-speed and fixed-gear bikes. The 1/8" width is standard for many BMX, cruiser, and chopper bikes, ensuring that the sprocket is compatible with a wide range of bike setups. The compatibility with this chain ensures that the sprocket will engage smoothly with the chain, providing optimal power transfer with minimal risk of slipping or skipping.

• Crank Compatibility: 1pc Crank

  • This sprocket is designed to fit a 1pc crankset, which means it is suited for bikes that use a one-piece crank system. The one-piece crank system is commonly found on vintage bikes, BMX, and cruiser bikes, where both the crank arms and the sprocket are integrated into a single piece of hardware. This configuration simplifies installation, reduces weight, and adds rigidity to the bike's drivetrain, making it ideal for riders who prefer simplicity and ease of maintenance. The compatibility with 1pc cranks ensures a secure fit and solid performance during rides.

• Tooth Type: Standard

  • The sprocket features a standard tooth profile, designed for reliable engagement with the chain. The standard teeth provide a smooth and consistent pedaling experience, ensuring minimal chain slip and wear. This tooth design is perfect for riders who want a dependable sprocket that will last through frequent use. The teeth are optimized for 1/2" x 1/8" chains, and the profile is engineered to handle the high-torque demands of BMX, cruiser, and chopper bikes, making it a durable choice for riders of all levels.

• Material: Steel

  • Constructed from high-quality steel, this sprocket offers impressive strength and durability. Steel is known for its toughness, making it an ideal material for components that need to withstand significant force and frequent use. The steel construction ensures that the sprocket can handle the rigors of BMX racing, urban cruising, or leisurely chopper rides without bending, warping, or breaking. Steel sprockets are typically more resistant to wear and tear, making them a solid investment for long-term use. The material also helps reduce flex during pedal strokes, ensuring better power transfer.

• Color: Chrome

  • The chrome-plated finish not only enhances the visual appeal of the sprocket but also provides an additional layer of protection against rust and corrosion. The shiny, reflective surface gives the sprocket a sleek, polished look, which is especially desirable for those customizing their bikes with a classic or vintage aesthetic. The chrome finish makes the sprocket stand out, especially on bikes with chrome accents or retro styling, and it helps keep the sprocket looking new even with regular exposure to the elements. Additionally, the chrome finish is easy to clean and maintain, ensuring that the sprocket retains its high-shine appearance over time.

• Brand: AltaLine

  • AltaLine is a well-established brand known for producing durable, reliable, and high-performance bicycle components. Their products are widely used in a variety of bike categories, including BMX, cruiser, and custom builds.
