    What is the largest rear sprocket that will fit on to the Sprinter hub gear on my T5? The limitation
    seems to be that an excessively large one would hit the rear of the horizontal frame tube on the
    rear triangle Presently I have a 13t on the back and a 44t at the front. My aim is to reduce the
    overall gearing of my Brompton economically.

    I suspect that the answer is given near the bottom of

    14T is the standard largest sprocket. 44T is the standard smallest on the BB. I don't know whether
    there is any reason that couldn't be smaller ?

    Hello, I have a 16 tooth rear on a 5 speeder. Its possible to put up to 16 but after that you must
    simply dent the rear seatstay part of the frame to get an even larger cog on. Front no point in
    going lower than 38 as shown on one of my Brompton. Regards, John.
