Aventon Adventure Sprocket Upgrade

[@18andlikeit]

Funny, I'd probably do just the opposite, put a 48t or 52t front chain ring for higher top speed. The motor is so strong I can't imagine having a very hard time getting up most hills with the gears that comes with the bike. 🤷

[@matthart77]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, in PAS 5 i'm barely putting in any effort even when I pedal as fast as I can, and I'd like to get the top speed AND a workout in. With a bigger front chainring and more gears in back I think we'd get the best of both worlds.

[@18andlikeit]

@@matthart77 I just bought a e-bike with a 11t to 30t cassette, with a 44t chain ring. Haven't got it yet. I'll have to see how much power I get from the 500w motor but I'm thinking I'll put at least a 48t chain ring on it. I'd like to be able to cruise at around 25mph on smooth level pavement without spinning my legs off. I'll know more when i get it.

[@mcgarvy7]

Me to I just bought a whole crankshaft set with 52T, now I was wondering if I’ll need a longer chain

[@loronzosgorbonzo974]

Same I have this same bike and would only go for more speed as it climbs fine.

[@wkraemer1957]

I did this upgrade. It helps three ways...It makes it much easier to climb the REALLY steep hills. It allows you to have a high crank speed when creeping on a difficult single track trail. You can power through the tight turns and hazards, easier. Because I decreased a tooth on the highest gear, I can go a bit faster, with a comfortable effort. The bike shop did this for less than $78.00. New chain and 11-40 Tooth Cassette. I would recommend this upgrade wholeheartedly.

[@breabarry]

Awesome. That's exactly what I want to do. Was waiting for someone to try this first. Can't wait to see more.

[@BrandonNapier]

Barry, Very happy this helped you. We definitely recommend doing the front sprocket swap. The rear cassette is a little more difficult, but 100% do the front sprocket! Please subscribe and hit the bell. We have many more videos planned and on the way!

[@breabarry]

@@BrandonNapier Any update on post front sprocket upgrade? Are you still happy with it? Any down side? Does it mess up the distance and speed calculations in the display? Thanks

[@BrandonNapier]

@@breabarry, absolutely do it!!! The front sprocket upgrade is super easy and provides only benefits for this bike. It will NOT mess up the range or speed calculations since that is done through a rear wheel sensor, not the peddles. On the other hand, I would not recommend the rear sprocket upgrade. The shift cable in the Aventon is not very good, and this makes it impossible to get the shifting tunes very smoothly. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@breabarry]

@@BrandonNapier That's awesome. Remind me. What number of teeth did you go with and would you choose that number again or would you go a bit bigger or smaller? Thanks

[@beyondergalactus7308]

When are you doing the follow up video?

[@joethompson2910]

Cool! I dont have an issue climbing with my Sondors Rockstar… BBSHD mid drive with SRAM 11 speed

[@BrandonNapier]

Yea mid drive will climb much better than hub drive because of the gearing

[@joethompson2910]

🤙🏻🥰🇺🇸

[@ffdragis]

The warhawk sticker is seriously cool looking on this bike. I bet it would look awesome with a round headlight.

[@BrandonNapier]

Good idea! It would make it look like an old WWII motorcycle.

[@justh4668]

@@BrandonNapier where did you get the sticker and how did you install it? Did you have to disconnect the brake cables?

[@Choclabdude]

@@justh4668 I would like to know as well.

[@Saper29345]

I'd also like to know.

[@Marvelofebikes]

Nice job

[@BrandonNapier]

Thanks!

[@jorgevelasquez9955]

Great video! So I want to put even smaller front sprocket on my Aventure..say maybe to 40 teeth ...to help with clearance and not keep bottoming out on rocks or stubs...do you think that would still work?

[@BrandonNapier]

Yea i think it would work fine. changing the front sprocket is way better than doing the rear. the rear is too difficult to get working correctly with the shifting.

[@pokitty100]

I was wondering if anyone has gone with biger spocket too see how fast it could go ?

[@bwloawesome]

I was wondering the exact same thing

[@BrandonNapier]

I have not, but that would be a cool thing to try! let me know if you want me to make a video like that!

[@hunter-kq2pu]

Any upgrade is worth making video on

[@Marvelofebikes]

Nice video!

[@BrandonNapier]

Thanks!

[@deanjohn9203]

Can you post links to the tools you used to shorten the chain? And did you replace the cranks with shorter ones?

[@marks2537]

Have you ever put a larger chainring on? Like 50 or 52? Is that possible? Looking to match top speed with peddle input cadence. Any video suggestions about that?

[@mcgarvy7]

Me to

[@jorgevelasquez9955]

Great video..any idea about spare battery purchase or skid plate?

[@BrandonNapier]

Definitely do a skid plate. Spare battery is nice, but the range is so good you might not need it

[@callienative]

Where did you get the front sticker for your bike ?

[@z4u68]

Here is what aventon is lowered me to do, I filed a claim had the bike shop receipt , they said the three things that were broke, the throttle and the front brakes and the rotor and lastly the lockout fork did not work, I filed a claim and got nothing back from them and its been days so I figure if I have to have a 2700.00 dollar bike in the garage I cant drive I will just let you people know. Its a nice idea the Join the movement campaign, But Im sorry I am not feeling it. please let me know if your bike had problems or am I the only one.

[@timboekhout7249]

What size is the War Eagle decal?

[@BrandonNapier]

In not really sure. I would go bigger since you can trim it if needed.

[@breabarry]

Me again. Follow up question. What derailer is on your Aventure. Mine came with a SunRace M40 which is rated for a Maximum of 34t on the cassette. Unless I replace that, I'm limited to front sprocket only.

[@BrandonNapier]

Not sure, I will have to check. Honestly I would just do the front sprocket. Increasing the rear makes getting the shifting smooth difficult

[@jellojamcwg]

@@BrandonNapierwhy did it make shifting less smooth? And why did you go with a smaller front sprocket?

[@russkielol]

So I have a 52t front sprocket on my Aventon Sinch but I can’t find a sprocket bigger than that for the front. Would you how to increase top end speed?

[@BrandonNapier]

you can also increase the top end speed if you can find a rear sprocket with less teeth. this might be hard to do.

[@russkielol]

@@BrandonNapier I found it!! Was not that hard! I thought finding the front one would be much easier

[@BrandonNapier]

@@russkielol Excellent! Let me know what kinds of speeds you pick up!

[@russkielol]

@@BrandonNapier well it should be easy 28 with pedal assist on my Sinch. I will get slower pedal Revolution

[@nonamehawg7068]

What sprocket do you recommend to get more peddle power on the downhill?

[@BrandonNapier]

In the front you are going to want to go to a larger sprocket, maybe 2 teeth more than you have now.

[@jairusfojas8788]

What brand of cassette did you use to replace the original one.

[@BrandonNapier]

Not sure. I just got one off Amazon

[@steveneichelberger475]

Do you have to change rear or can you get way with just front

[@BrandonNapier]

I would just change the front only. the rear was much more complicated and you have to readjust the shifting. Just do the front. Thanks for watching.

[@steveneichelberger475]

@@BrandonNapier thanks

[@steveneichelberger475]

Do you think going down to 40t would get me down to 8mph or little less
