best quality spinning bike image

I need good fitting good quality shoes and I'd prefer them not be super expensive but a good fit is the most important. What's you favorite spin shoe brand?? Know where I can get any coupons for them?
Answer
If you have a long narrow foot, shop Pearl Izumi. If you have feet wide at the "last" (wide at the ball of your foot) like I do, Shimano shoes seem the most comfortable. If you are somewhere in between, take a look at the rest.
IDK about coupons, but Performance Bike is having their Winter Clearance Sale and shoes are included. Look at mountain shoes, they are easiest to walk in.

What does a sprocket do on a motorcycle?

How does a high quality sprocket effect the ride? Would it make it go faster?
Answer
The sprocket is the gear that holds each end of the chain.
The front sprocket attached to the countershaft of the transmission and the rear sprocket attaches to the rear wheel.
The quality of the sprocket isn't going to affect the ride at all. It may wear longer, but the sprockets should be changed out with the chain anyway and I've never had a problem with them wearing faster than the chain - or slower for that matter.
A lighter sprocket theoretically allows for less unsprung weight on the rear wheel and also theoretically allows the wheel to spin up faster because of the lighter weight. But, in reality, we are talking maybe a pound max here - only a balls out racer on a race track could possibly feel that difference. On the street it makes no difference, except for the damage the lighter sprocket will do to your pocket book. A lighter sprocket does not make your bike go faster.
Sprockets can be changed in relation to the number of teeth they have, changing the overall final gear ratio. This change anyone can feel. Change them one way and the bike will accelerate faster, run higher RPM's at any given speed and use more gas doing the same speed. Change it the other way and you will have to slip the clutch more to take off from a stop, but the bike will go faster at the top of each gear and run lower RPM for any given speed and get better mileage to boot.
