1983 200x gearing With Durablue axle

[Evan Hagenow]

I have a first gen 200x with a durablue axle and was wondering where the best place to get sprockets is. I had a 35 tooth on the back with old super turfs and it was geared way to low. If I was to run 20 inch rear tires what rear sprocket would get me close to stock gear ratios with a 13t front sprocket? Thanks

Or give sidewinder sprockets a call. I run their sprockets on both my 200x and 350x. He gives a good price if you buy new sprockets and chain all together.

Alright thanks for the replies. I'm probably going to go with a 38 tooth on the back to get me a little faster than stock and a 13 tooth on front. Thanks again for the help.

just curious, why a 20" rear? most 200X people want to run a MX style 18" rear for more width and stability. are you planning on lots of clearance issues? if not the 18" with the wider mx style design will do wonders.

isn't the first gen 200x durablue axles 81-82 250r axles?

[Evan Hagenow]

Yeah I believe so since you have to use a 1982 250r rear sprocket with the axle. And I am not really set on the 20s I would just like to keep the chain from being a chainsaw as much as possible. As long as they are mx style 18 or 20 inch and not balloon tires I would run them. What ever I can find a reasonable price.

100% correct

Great shop that supports 3 wheelers, check their website they have everything including some sprocket sizes you will never need.

I love Sprocket Specialists....bought from them a few times....great phone support too

I run a 13T front and a 38T Sprocketspecialists rear on my 200X with a Durablue off a 81-2 250R flipped around and running a set of 18`s. I had to use different fasteners as the 250R had a different way of bolting up I think but other than that, perfect fit for this application

[Evan Hagenow]

Thanks how do you like the 13/38 with the 18s? I was running the stock front sprocket (12t) with a 35 tooth rear and it was gutless. I could barely use 5th gear with 22in tires on it
