Best With threaded Bottom Bracket: Ganopper Bike pedal sprocket

Buy on Amazon

Next on the list, we've got yet another sprocket that manages to win our hearts. It's the ganopper bike pedal sprocket and it's widely considered as one of the best convenient sprocket you can buy. If you’re building a bike or replacing a damaged crank, this is a great budget option. It fits the same bottom bracket as shimano’s hollowtech (24mm spindle diameter) so there are plenty of better BB options. It is easy to refit bigger teeth with a singlespeed mountain bike, road bike crank set etc. The links are shaped in a way that allow for the teeth to enter and exit the chainring without getting hung up. The pedals spin smooth and there is a weight savings.

This setup is surprisingly good, minus the bottom bracket. There is literally zero protection against water intrusion, so it'll get soaked and stay soaked.
