Post by edhall92 »

Im looking at getting a new chain and sprocket however i want one that will give me less top end and more acceleration but im not sure whats the best. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Tooth or two more at the back will give you a little more lift

Or one tooth less at he front


three on the rear is about the same as one off the front

Thankyou, looking at getting a set with one more on the rear and one less on the front, i hear this makes for easy wheelies or is it best to keep the front standered and more teeth at the back?

seen one with +1 on the rear and -1 on the front, how does that sound, will that give me enogh power and lift out the corners? sorry for my ignorance when it comes to this.
