Gearing??

[melonBerry]

ok i have a +4 ext. swinger. i need to know what size chain you guys use so i can have mine at exact length. i do trail riding with jumps and whatnot. and i was also wondering have anyone tried 15 front sprocket and 42 rear or should i just stick it with 14 to 41 or 14 to 40. let me know whats up

mine is +4 14/40 105 links.

if you go 15/42 you're going to end up with basically 14/40 gearing. I like my 14/40 gearing on the trails with my 18" tires. I think if I went with 20" tires I would drop the front sprocket one.

yea i thought the same. i used to put it in the gear calculator on E2S and think it would work but i probably get the same result.

would 105 be the same for a +3 cuz i been thinking of switching up when i get more money.

i would recommend if youre replacing chain, you do your sprockets too. the wear hand in hand and its brutal on the chain on worn sprockets.
