36 tooth Murray chainring?

[Dr. Tankenstein]

I'm about to begin the refurb of my 56 Higgins and with the hills in my area, I'm thinking about making the gearing something a little more 'reasonable'.

So the plan is to install a 2-speed kickback and perhaps a smaller chainring. Does anyone know if Murray made a 36 tooth version of this?

If so, what bike models did it come on or anyone got one to sell?


Thanks in advance for any advice/knowledge.

Cheers,
Dr. T

I found a rusty old Murray 20" frame in the woods and it had a smaller version of that sprocket... I think...

I know my lbs talks about how schwinn went from the 36 up to the mag sprocket a couple years later, he says it was because the off brands had faster gearing. I guess theres a chance but might be hard to come across.

That's what I like, a challenge!

Thanks CCR, gonna put a 'wanted' post up and see if anyone has one.

Oh well, looks like I have to 'buck up, buttercup' and start working out my quads and calves. :roll:

I am surprised that girls bikes didn't come with smaller chainrings, wasn't that common?

on schwinns they just bumped up the # of teeth on the rear

I think this is a rollfast sprocket / similar but not maybe try there too ?
