Very interesting board name!

Welcome to the board! I am changing out my sprockets and went with a 42T. Popular concensus is that it will increase the acceleration of the bike. Perhaps more so with a 43T. At the same time, I am upgrading to a DID 530 X-Ring chain because of the tensile strength. Brake pads will be changed to EBC HH pads both front and rear.

I've always had great experience with vortex steel sprockets. They are a reasonable price and last a long time.
