hello this is my first post and i was wondering if it is a noticable difference with a smaller sprocket set if so how many teeth would be best to improve my acceleration and do i need to replace or take any links out of my chain and how many. thanx

-1 on the front is usually more than enough for the road. -1/+3 I what I used over here on the track. I did run -1/+5 once and I ended up looking for 7th and 8th gear as it was too much.

If it's just for the road, -1 on the front will be plenty and no need to take links from the chain.

I went up 2 on the rear. Was a squeeze to fit but works really well.

Banoffee, that sprocket is on back-to-front. The step should be pointing towards the wheel, not away from it.

-1 on the front for me (road use) and i love it. Much better acceleration.

so just -1 so 14 teeth on the front and leave the back alone?, it is for road use not track. cheers for the quick replys

14t on the front is perfect for road use IMO.
Cheap/Quick mod for a nice big grin

any other mods like that quick and easy besides a hrc box

interesting. the one it replaced (i.e. was on the bike when I got it) was the same way round. will have a look, cheers.
