yes but youll have to cut your chain or move the wheel all the way back. 44T gives out more power to be back 36 is considered the granny gear on a MTB.

 

[ridenlow702]

[ridenlow702]

I dont have all my tools right now so i dint get to take off the wheel but i took the chain out the way, here wat it looks like:

Is that good? now what?

 

[Lownslow302]

take the bottom bracket nuts off its counterclockwise both of them, then take the bearings out then take the crank off

[ridenlow702]

man, i jus moved and i dont have any of my tools and i have to use someone elses and they dont really have anythin

 

[ridenlow702]

this is confusing

 

[fashizzle manizzle]

if youre gonna put on a smaller sprocket you might as well get a shorter crank too, if youre still building a lowrider. if not the sprocket you had was fine

 

[ridenlow702]

i need a new sprocket either way, u cant tell but its bent, and why get a smaller sprocket for a lowrider, it dont make it lower do it?

 

[noe_from_texas]

no

 

[ridenlow702]

oh my bad u sed shorterr crank, ok nevaer mind

The only thing that less teeth will do for you is make it a little easier to pedal. On my cruiser I use 36t because I can't stand up on hills so it makes it a little easier on me.

 

[fashizzle manizzle]

the smaller the sprocket and crank the lower your bike can go and still be pedaled
