Could someone explain the effects of changing sprockets?

Some people talk about reducing the front sprocket size, others talk about increasing rear sprocket size, etc.

I understand that changing sprockets will impact top speed /acceleration, as you are affecting the final drive / gearing.

But can anyone explain which does what and what changes you might expect? For example, if you change a sprocket(s) to improve acceleration, how much might the top speed be affected?



Many thanks,

Dave.
