Well it's about time...

 

[chevelle]

maybe i am the only one, but i disagree with running really tight gearing,eg 16-42,while this combo will greatly help acceleration in 2nd through 6th it will hurt you in the gear that acceleration is best 1st

 

[dbusa101]

Im with you chevelle, it may be fun and all , I know when I was one down I liked it too. But when it comes to racing on the street I wanted to win so now Im 17 and 39

 

[him]

i just changed mine to a 16 yesterday and right now im not liking it too much. It just seems like i have to shift all the freakin time now. Im on my way to the track so ill see if it helps my times

 

[dbusa101]

It will help in short distance but if your racing more than the 1/8 I believe it hurts you

 

[him]

Well i just ran today with one. My times last year with the regular were 10.5 now just ran a 10.4 but it is cold as hell out here and i'm a little rusty so that may have had something to do with it. But the bike does pull harder or so it seems
