i can tel l you just droppin a tooth in the front (16/40) is a hell of a difference. It was hard to get the bus up in second not anymore i put down in first gear then hit it again in second around 8k and there she was saluting like a soldier

I'm running 16/43 on mine and love it. Jumps out of the hole real quick, and there arent many streets here in town that I need mega top speed on

Isn't dropping one tooth in the front equivalent to going three up in the rear. Just thinking of maybe going one down or three up. Trying to determine which way to go.

thanks

Go the least expensive way. Front sprockets are cheaper.....

I use a 17/43 setup. Works great... A little more oomph than 16/40 IMHO.
