    Bigger on the rear, or smaller on the front will gear you down lower. 3.5 tooth change on the rear = a one tooth change on the front. "Low end power" is how much horsepower your motor will deliver at low rpms, and has nothing to do with sprockets. Gearing down helps compensate for a lack of it.
