Tire and gear combo

[swilke22]

Ok, my buddy and I have almost the same top speed but I would like to show him that running 14/40 gears and running 21/18 for tires I get 57 mph. and our bikes for performance are like the same. so I am thinking run a 38 in the rear and it should do over 60.????

probably. but he'll jump on ya at the beginning. and if you go to a 38 you have to grind down the hub or the chain hit's it

if you really want to show him just get a set of 22 rears. you'll go faster in the end than he will.

very cool..Thanks he has 20x11x8 and I have 18x10x8...so I am thinking of going with some 20's

what you need to do is slap a 12 tooth front sprocket on there when hes not looking. then when he takes off hes gonna think it got supercharged till he tops out at 35mph
