Sorry, but if you want a closer gearing shouldn't you go a tooth less on the front or add more teeth to the rear???
And that would mean that 15/35 is wayyyyyyyyyyy taller than 14/38, right??
I mean, if it was 14/35 vs 15/38, then it would be more balanced, right???

Now...... how come the 749R have such tall gearing
