So, I have 13 tooth front sprocket ordered, and would like to with a 34 tooth rear. I have the stock 12/40 right now -- fastest I can comfortably go now is about 35 - 40 MPH. Would like to get going 50 MPH with some comfort and keep the engine revs down:
I would end up going from 3.33 ratio to 2.67 -- Has anyone done this -- can you comment how you like it?
Would I need to get a new smaller chain?
