Ratios

Rob B · 19-Mar-2004, 08:13

What final drive ratios (sprockets) are people running. I have just experimented with 14/37 but am about to try 15/42, kinder on the chain and a bit lower still.

Regards,

Rob

RJ,

Was that a steel or ally rear?

Renthals...steel front, ally rear & Tsubaki chain from Neil @ Cornerspeed.

I put on 14 / 42 at the last change. Renthal (ally) on the rear and dog's gonads of a Tsubaki chain.....
However, its a bit noisier that the OEM
kit, and had me a bit worried, also runs better a tad looser, with help from
a Scottoiler seems fine. And I managed to
get the wrong no. of links ( doh!) but
you live and learn.
This makes for a very usable gearing for
daily 80 m. thrash.
