gearing

[stephen12091985]

ok so i just went from 13/40 gearing to 12/40 cuz my friend said it would stretch out my gears and it seems to make them shorter.i was trying to get more acceleration but i dont really see a difference.i have a 12t,13t,14t for the front and 40t,43t for the back.what does anyone reccomend to run?

The 12 will give you quicker acceleration, the 14 will stretch out the gears and make your top speed faster.

go 13/43 if ya want acc...

the smaller you go on the front the tighter/lower your gears will be. With the rear if you go with a bigger sprocket it'll also lower your gear ratio. If you were to run a 12 tooth front and 43 tooth rear, you should be able to take off in 3rd gear. Most people will run a 14/40
