[QUOTE="SRAD97750, post: 210578, member: 425"] When I'm looking to change the characteristics of the engine, I change the front sprocket. When looking for a change in MPH, I swap out the rear sprocket. Inertial forces are multiplicative in a chain/sprocket system, which makes the output sprocket weight/diameter play a bigger role than changing the weight of the rear sprocket. Being the rear sprocket is attached to the heavy rear wheel, any changes you make are minimal in 'feel' due to the tiny change in inertial reference. -BIG DAN:thumb: [/QUOTE]
