Please, spell out words properly, or don't post at all. And cranks won't make the bike faster.

how many teeth does the sprocket have?

Well that guy said the cranks are for torque and strength witch is exactly what i needed now i got it since i put longer cranks on my bike but it is very crappy that my bike tires are about half the size of a 20' they rotate much quicker witch means i top out faster but im thinking of making the back wheel/tire a 20' and the front a smaller like a hotrod u guys think it'll give me more top speed?
oh sorry about the spelling im so used to typing in IM's ^^ better?
