A chain is a chain, it hasn't got any gears in it. But if you run it across a pair of sprockets you can create a gearing ratio.

How can one safely perform chain skipping on a bike?

To safely perform chain skipping on a bike, make sure to shift gears smoothly and gradually to avoid putting too much stress on the chain. Additionally, maintain a steady pedaling cadence and avoid sudden or jerky movements that could cause the chain to skip off the gears. Regularly inspect and maintain the chain and gears to ensure they are in good condition.


How can I prevent damage to my bike's gears and chain by avoiding cross chaining while riding?

To prevent damage to your bike's gears and chain, avoid cross chaining while riding. Cross chaining occurs when the chain is on the largest chainring in the front and the largest cog in the back, or on the smallest chainring in the front and the smallest cog in the back. This puts extra stress on the chain and gears, leading to premature wear and potential damage. Instead, try to keep the chain in a straight line as much as possible by shifting to appropriate gear combinations.


How can I determine if a bike chain is too long?

To determine if a bike chain is too long, you can check if it hangs loosely or if it causes the derailleur to stretch too much when shifting gears. A properly sized chain should be taut and allow smooth gear changes without excessive slack.


How tight should a bike chain be for optimal performance and longevity?

A bike chain should be tight enough to prevent it from sagging, but not so tight that it causes excessive wear on the gears and chain. Optimal performance and longevity are achieved when the chain has a slight amount of slack, allowing for smooth movement without putting too much strain on the components.


How fast can a 90cc mini bike go?

it can probably go about 100 miles per hour and it depends about the gears how much gears it has


What type of gear is a bike?

Pretty much all bikes qualify as chain and sprocket gear systems, and the ones with internal gears also have planetary gears inside their hubs. There are also two systems available that puts planetary gears in the crank assembly. Well, if it has an internally geared hub it has a more or less complicated set of planetary gears(depending on the no of gears). If it has experna gears then it has front set of sprockets and a rear set of sprockets. By running the chain over these sprockets in different combinations you get different ratios that can be used depending on how hard the rider wants to pedal.


How much is it for a timing belt for a 99 Chevy Silverado?

That engine doe's not have a timing BELT. It has a timing chain and gears. The chain and gears are about $60.00 the gasket is about $12.00 and the Labor would run about $150.00.


What is the correct chain tension on a bicycle?

If the bike has external gears(several sprockets by the rear wheel), then correct chain tension pretty much is what you get when you install a chain of the correct length. If the bike is a single-speed, fixie, or internally geared, then chain tension is usually adjusted by moving the rear wheel back/forth in the dropouts. If a bike started out with external gears and later was turned into a single gear it usually has a chain tensioner mounted somewhere. Chain tensioners looks like stripped down rear derailers. Some bikes have special brackets called tug nuts going from the axle to the rear of the dropouts to keep the wheel in place. If yours are one of those then the correct tension is when:the chain can't jump off the sprockets/chainwheelwhen you push on it with a finger it should move maybe one chain width up/down:


How do you shift gears on a 50cc dirt bike?

You do on most of them, such as the Honda CRF 50, but it is generally an automatic clutch, making it much easier to ride them. The CRF 50 has 3 gears.


Your bmx bikes chain keeps skipping?

If it's a bike with external gears the most usual reason is that the derailers haven't got their limit screws set right, so when the rider attempts to change gears the derailers push the chain right off. For Single-speed bikes the most common reason is that the chain is too slack. With too much slack the chain is free to move sideways enough to come off the sprockets if the bike is jostled around hard enough..


How much Slack in timing belt on a Chevy 350?

The 350 Chevy does not have a belt, it has a chain. Slack in the chain is normal as long as it is not excessive. A better determining factor on when to replace the chain, is the condition of the gears and if the chain is noisy.


How much is a dirt-bike chain?

Any where form $50-$100, give or take.
