I need to change the chain and sprockets on my 996s which has also had Sigma do some similar work on it. At the moment I have a 14t front sprocket and the standard 38t rear. Should I keep a 14t front and go up to a 39 rear or maybe even a 40t rear? What's the general view on this? When I first changed the front sprocket I loved the quicker acceleration but have obviously got used to it now. Obviously the 996 is overgeared as standard so what is the optimum gearing for fast twisty road, track riding and balistic wheelies whilst still maintaining an acceptable top speed and reasonable touring ability as I often ride it to France?
