I put a 14T sprocket on mine and it was far better than standard. A larger rear is better for the chain but you may find that the standard chain (assuming you're not putting a new one on) is not long enough. As for the hard rear, it's the spring rate that is the problem rather than the damping, I put a Maxton spring on - they match it to your weight and how you want to ride, it really improved the ride. |
