i would like to know the difference between a 48 pitch and a 64 pitch? these numbers, what do they represent? is it the teeth or the overall size or the pinion or what??

64 pitch has smaller teeth

so the pitch thing is all about the size of the teeth, so the pitch actually affects the gear mesh?

To some degree yes, but it also affexts the number of available ratios you can achive & how much or little of a change you can make for fine tuning. However, if you go with 64 pitch gears, be aware that they are more fragile than 48 pitch, so they're more difficult to get the gear mesh right on, & they strip more easily(making it all the more important to set the mesh just right). I wouldn't recommend 64 pitch to everyone, but I for one do like them, I like the fine tuning options they give me....

When deciding on wich pitch to use you have a few things to consider. The biggest is strength. 48 and 36 pitch are generally used more in offroad, because of the torque placed on them from the roughness of the class. 64 pitch is mainly just an onroad carpet thing where ratio is more important than strength. The larger tooth gears are going to have less teeth therefore less tunning options. for every tooth you add to the spur gear you double the tunning options of the gearset.

doesn't 64 pitch mkae u faster, by being more effitiant. More smaller teeth would be better than less big ones.

i used to use 64p for all the fine tuning....but now i'm converted to 48p ...simply bcos it's too expensive to replace all the rock 'eaten' gears..yeah i play asphalt.48p can survive a much larger rock and still run well
besides , the efficiency factor and noise factor isn't that great a difference.In fact,if u have a chewed up 64p and a chewed up 48p gear,u'd find that the 48p one is way quieter.

64p should not be any quieter than 48p. If you get the 48p mesh correct, there should be very little noise. Its all about the mesh.
