It will feel similar to a 28/9 gearing but will wear out significantly faster.

25/9 now so hears the backround about this, im getting a new back wheel really cheap on monday but its a 11t im not gonna run a 25/11 and i found a 8t driver for $37 with shipping and a 9t will be $54 with shipping on dands and theres a 10t for $55 so im kinda broke and trying to save money and i feel this is a good way but i have to sacrifice a harder gear ratio so do yall think its worth it now?

I ran 25/8 for over two years. Zero wear on the sprocket and never had an issue with my chain or driver. Just make sure you have a heavy duty (KMC 410H, 510HX, etc.), 7075 sprocket, and a driver with needle bearings. My set up was Profile Spline Drive 25t, KMC 410H, Primo Remix 8t.

i have a newish sprocket and chain its a mission nexus sprocket honestly i love the look and its strong to never had a problem with it and i have the mechanic (spelling) lol hollow half link that seems to be nice for me for about 3 months or so now and the driver isnt bearings its bushings so i should be alright, right?
