Anyone else run 24T or higher? I know Endless makes them in 24t but it's not worth $50 to be honest. I think there are some DIY methods but I don't have a welder.

Is it for single speed bikes?
Tony, you want a HG-compat one, like Endless sells? Or are you looking for a cb/IGH 3 spline jawn? Frankie hails from The Netherlands, so they get good stuff. We can get it, too, but not thru normal means so we gotta pay thru the nose:

They got 3-splined cb cogs, up to 26t!
If you need something for an HG-style splined driver, and you're crafty, you can make single cogs made for multispeed cassettes work:

Of course, these will be ramped to enhance shifting, so there's increased risk of dropped chains with singlespeed use, but care attention to chainline and proper chain tension should prevent that in most relaxed riding conditions.
If it were me, though, I'd just go with a 22t Surly rear sprocket, and either gear down up front or stand up more while pedaling....

yes its for singlespeed but I pay 7 euros for a cog so 15 dollars isnt that bad if you really want a 24t but 27 bucks for a 26t...
Like B808 says i'd pedal a bit harder too!

Our trails are a bit gangsta lol
I just buy these off Amazon but they all top out at 22t. I'd like the 24t for the klunker build otherwise I'd deal with the 22 on my cruisers.
I am of a like mind, save money where possible!Tony, you want a HG-compat one, like Endless sells? Or are you looking for a cb/IGH 3 spline jawn? Frankie hails from The Netherlands, so they get good stuff. We can get it, too, but not thru normal means so we gotta pay thru the nose:

Currently I run a 48/22 w/SA 3AWC, considering a 50!
Most times though I start with a 16 or 17, and gear the front from there. Approximately 38 to 44 depending on outer tire diameter.
Right now it looks like I'll be running 46x22 on 1.85 MTB tires.
Tony, on a singlespeed c/b? That'll be high, off-road, but if this is on your Schwinn with the Retrospec cranks, it won't be hard/expensive to get a smaller front sprocket. FWIW, Niagara sells the 23t Shimano Nexus rear sprocket, too.... at least put you at a 52" gear. But if I were you, I'd go a bit lower, and changing the front will get you there quickest/easiest/cheapest....
Still debating on a OPC or the Retro crank.
I actually found that on Amazon but one reviewer said it was 22t. I'm waiting on the seller to verify it's 23t. Shimano SG-3C40 Nexus Sprocket (23T) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007FOVIDW/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_cb66tb05X1B0P
Good thread.
Been looking at larger cb cogs lately myself as I have a 52T chainring on my current build & 52/20 seems a bit crazy (factory gears); but again I've had 44-48/18 on almost every bike.
Let us know when you hear back on that 23T

Well I found the Shimano 23t on eBay cheaper at that. I'll report back but I have a 22t I'll test while I wait.
OPC cranks are nice, b/c you can get 36t (even smaller, if you hunt around) front sprockets for really cheap, ranging from "free" from a donor bike up to $10. Yeah, you can pay more, but the very nicest OPC sprockets are made by Renthal and top out at $50. Porkchops run about $25; really nice and i've got a few of those, but my go-to is the Walds, which are available in 36, 40, 42 and 44t from pretty muchg any bike shop or cheap online source.... you can even get 48t Wald sprockets if you hunt for them.... and most sizes sell for about 5 bucks.
That's very cool, but aren't they going to either be ramped for "shifting" or else just regular bmx cogs, which don't come big anyways?
Don't you just grind the raised parts on the cog?
