Who has changed the rear sprocket, any tips? I want to try the 40t rear before going to a 15t front. Thanks.
rear is a 37t front is a 14t. Do you think I should get a 15t front?
Cool, I just ordered it.i think its gonna need longer gearing, so yeah order one
Kinda what I was gonna say. I couldn't figure this thread out because I know that going to a bigger rear sprocket will make your gearing lower... and a 40t would be way low. Between getting taller tires (22") with rims and getting a 15t front sprocket, changing the front sprocket is easier and way cheaper. Another way to get a little taller gearing would be to go to a 36t or 35t rear sprocket...bigger tires are like smaller in the rear, the smaller you go the more mph you get the bigger tire you go the same thing. Once you get up around 55-60hp a 15t is good it is a little tall in 4th and 5th but works well in 1-3
Thanks Eric, I was reading this and was like "isn't that what I said" haha. Mixed my words up.bigger tires are like smaller in the rear, the smaller you go the more mph you get the bigger tire you go the same thing. Once you get up around 55-60hp a 15t is good it is a little tall in 4th and 5th but works well in 1-3
