My afternoon will be dedicated too new chain (horrible cheap thing but needed for upcoming MOT) and new sprockets. Dropping 2 teeth on the front for more wheelies. It'll drop the theoretical top end too 112 (fag packet maths) but should get there a lot quicker, currently it can be teased just past 130 but from about 98 onward is tedious as it struggles to pull the gearing.
Two teeth off the front is a fair change, I've never gone more than + or - one tooth on the front, sounds like you've done the sums though and I know how you like the sound of your bike revving ; )Originally Posted by WR6133
Just gave it a go, front wheel definitely lifts easier, gets to a ton quick though it shoots through the first few gears almost as fast as they can be shifted and pulls through the redline in top resulting in a slightly higher top end than I calculated (private land honest). I have a barely used 45T rear I may put on which would then -3 me on the rear so put me closer to if I had -1 on front as I think as fun as this feels it's going to put my fuel economy in depressing territory.
Previously it was on 15/48 which gave awesome motorway fuel economy but as you've seen when giving it the beans it struggled to pull high speeds. I want to find my preferred combo/compromise on this one with cheap sprockets and budget chains so when it comes to getting decent ones for the project I know the setup I want.
