A question about bigger sprockets.

if your chain is loose, no

if it is tight, yes, pick up a few more links or a new chai

if your wheel is slammed in the dropouts the above applies

if not, place the wheel further towards the end of the dropouts

If you need a new chain get the fly bikes tractor chain I've been riding it for little while now and my wheel is slammed with the chain tight haven't had any issues with it

Not a bigger chain, but a longer one, I'm assuming that's what you meant.

And I've heard a few good things about the tractor chain, but I don't have any personal experience with it or personally know anyone with it. So I'd strongly recommend the Odyssey Bluebird, my wheels slammed as much as I can and I keep my chain really tight when I can, also I've bashed it off a curb a couple times now and its still working great.

General rule of thumb is when you go up in sprocket size you will need to add more links. also its suggested that you get you new chain with a new sprocket.

I was talking to him about the bigger/longer part and I was messing around on this foot/foot and a half high curb we grind trying oppo luc-es haha

Ain't nothing wrong with shredding a foot high curb I do from time to time

theoretically speaking if you are going from 25 to 28 then you will need 3 links to keep your wheel in the same place with the same tension

Close... 1.5 FULL links. Remember that there are 2 teeth in every link.

You are correct, however, IF you were referring to a HALF link chain.

Even if your chain is loose probably. I went from 25t with a loose chain to a 28 and it didn't fit. Spent like a week waiting for a new chain =(
