I get the benefit of the smaller front sprocket should equal quicker acceleration, smaller rear sprocket for top speed argument, but why would you choose one of these gearings over the other?? |
Divide the big one by the little one so 48/14 = 3.428 which means (i think) the little one has to turn 3.428 times to make the big one turn once.
Thus setting a datum point for you to decide what gearing may suit your style/skill or haircut.
