Sprockets

Hi,


Can anyone assist? All i use my DT for is going across the field so i'm really looking to increase the acceleration rather than top end speed. Therefore am i best making the frt sprocket smaller or the back one larger? Or does it not make a difference which i change? the only reason i ask is i can find smaller frts advertised but not larger rears, but if you look at crossers they have a huge rear.


Many Thanks for any advice

As a general rule of thumb 1 tooth on the front equates to 3 or 4 on the back so changing the front will have a greater effect.

Thanks for the advice. Would you recommend going 1 or 2 teeth smaller? Would 2 teeth smaller make 1st gear pointless?


Thanks

I'd go for 1 tooth to start with and then fine tune with the rear. 2 teeth on the front and you'll climbing walls on the thing

What size have you got on the front at the moment? It's just I have a 16T and 17T that came off my TDR sitting here if they'd be of any use to you.

I'd love your 17T sprocket for my TDR !  I could even pay you for it and the postage by PayPal, if you still have it and it's spare.  Give me a shout if so...
