Ben John-Hynes Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 It's all down to comfort really. May get a bit more power from being able to move more/not be to stretched out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caswell_35 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Ok thanks ill change it over and see how it feels,Also one last question, rear sprocket size, smaller the harder the gear? i am running a 18t on the front with 16t on back, if i changed the 16t to a 13/14 would make it harder gearing giving me more poweR?
