I want to change the sprocket on my Gen I. I dont know if I should do either 42t rear, 43t rear or 16t front. Can anyone tell me how big of a diffrence each makes. I dont do any drag racing so I dont want anything too extreme
Seems the most popular with gen 1 is the 16/42 combo. With your last statement I would say go up 2 in the rear and see how you like it. If you do and want more drop the 1 in the front. Dropping 1 in the front is about the same as +3 in the rear.
You should be able to do both without changing your chain.
I use +3 on the rear and have not enjoyed it since the swap. When I find a deal on a nice new pretty 40 tooth- It will be going back to stock. Sure it works good at the track but Im not happy with the extra rpm/ noise and reduced fuel mileage on the street/highway which is 98% of the time.
