Sprocket sizes (teeth) for a 01 WR426

[Rip Wheeler]

Going to replace all sprockets and chain, want to know what the stock sizes are. I'm thinking 14/50, I have 13/47 on it now, which numerically in ratio is almost identical to what I have, but my sprockets are showing some signs of wear and I will be replacing them. Appreciate your input. ?

Yeah, stock is 14/50 with a 114 link chain...By the way, I'm getting my new blue 2004 TOYOTA Corolla CE 5spd in 2 days ?.

Yeah stock ratio is 14/50.

I just replaced mine from 14/45 to 14/48 and am very happy with the outcome. I can't imagine needing a 50t with THAT low of a 1st gear. I can live with 2nd using the 48t as well. With the 45t rear I could not handle to gap from 1st to 2nd.

FYI Ironman sprockets are bullet proof.

Nice choice dominator426! I'm all Toyota now, drive a 98 TRD Tacoma 4WD, wife has an 03 Highlander 4WD, commuter is a 90 Corolla and a 83 Starlet. I have been a tech at the same dealer for 15 years now, and I'm the new guy! You'll love the little Corolla, economical and of course, extremely reliable.

You are probably right. I'm riding a 16/50 ratio for off roading. My gearing is too speedy for tight stuff tough.

I guess that 14-48 or 15-50 would be OK. I have the original 14 t front sprocket and I'm gonna try it on one day.

[dominator426]

I use 15/50 gearing and like it a lot. It fits the 114 link chain well and is actually the stock Australian setup. I will then use my new original 14 with a 47 for virtually the same gearing. A 112 link chain should be a good fit for it.

The discussion of gearing for different preferences is interesting but i was wondering what gearing options actually work with the standard chain guide etc? I would imagine that 14t or 15t on the front wouldn't make a difference but how small or large (compared to the standard 50t, i think) could one go on the back before having to modify, remove or replace the chain guide?

 

Thanks,
