Replacing front Chainring with a 56 tooth sprocket on Radrunner

 Replace front chainring to a bigger on Radrunner

"But the key is to pick an afternarket chainring with 130mm BCD (bolt circle diameter), designed for 3/32" chain. You'll likely also need a new set of "standard length" bolts. since the stock ones on the Runner are longer to accommodate the inner and outer guard rings.

"Bought an extra set of standard bolts, and kept the Rad bolts together with the rest of the stock components."


"It made a small, but noticeable difference. You'll need a shorter (standard length) bolt set. I added an extra inch of chain, but it wasn't absolutely required. Now that my top speed is "unlocked"....I might go with a 58T." - K. Hunter


Order some short extra bolts, 8mm or so. Photo K. Hunter


"Underside of bolt head to end of threads is about 8mm, but a bolt 10mm long should also work, provided the mating "nut" is short enough to not bottom out."

If you need to replace the chain, this might be a good option:

KMC X8 Chain - 7/8-speed - silver

Dimensions: 1/2" x 3/32" | bolt length 7,30 mm

Material: steel, nickel-plated
