I decided against a 14T front. To quote the great Shazaam!
Quote:
| Starting with the higher torque 916-series (and 749R), and continuing with the 996, 998 and 999, the factory shifts to a 15-tooth front sprocket and a 525 chain. Why? Because more torque means more chain tension and a 15-tooth front sprocket lowers the tension in the chain by seven percent. A 525 chain has a tensile strength that’s ten percent higher. So you get an overall 17 percent stronger setup. |
I settled on 15/40 in the end which seems about purfec to me. Much easier round town and pulling away without over reving down the motorway.
(of course you will have to take care accelerating out of tight corners)
