Re: quick gearing question

its all a ratio. the bigger you go in the back, the more difference a front sprocket makes. But being that close to stock - 3 teeth is a close rule of thumb. so if ur rockin' a stock front - go up at least 7 teeth. But fack that. Go up at least 27.

Re: quick gearing question

general rule of thumb, for every 1 tooth on the front that is 3 in the rear. it's really 2.8something something in the rear but you can just round it to 3. so going 1 down in the front is the same as going up 3 in the back. so if you put your stock sprocket back on, you'd have to go up 3 more teeth in the rear to make it like a -1 front sprocket.
