Chain drive on FXFBS help
I would like to order a chain drive for my Fat Bob. Can someone help or educate me how to figure out what size (how many teeth) on the rear sprocket?

OP whatever you do don't cheap out on the chain if you are determined to go that way, I ran the high end Tsubaki Oring chains ( $$$ ) , best life and lowest maintenance I ever found and I wrestled chain bikes 3 decades.

Screw cool, converting my old shovel to a rear belt was the best thing I ever did for that bike.
