ok, how many teeth should I go up and still be able to use the bike for going around town and stuff? $50 isn't bad, maybe I'll go for it if it's not going to make traveling a pain in the neck.

 

I would recommend -1 in the front and +3 in the rear. That way you shouldn't have to change your chain any, and it won't be too low for riding on the highway, but it will help wheeling that bitch alot easier

 

Sounds cool, going to go to local shop soon then. Do I have to buy a rear and a front or can I just go with a rear sprocket. It would be a lot easier to put on that way I think. I'd also rather not have to add a couple links to the chain, so would I be able to just put on a sprocket 3-4 teeth bigger and leave everything else alone? Thanks for all the input guys.
