Well, I need a new chain, so I'm planning to get sprockets too. Since this would be the time for different sprockets, I have a few questions regarding changing the gearing.
If I'm happy with my bikes performance, is there any good reason to adjust the gearing? I mean, I'd like to launch a little harder, but I also enjoy my top end.
If I adjust the sprockets for a better low-end response what will I lose at the top of the RPM's? (It drops off towards the top end of the RPM range anyway.)
What would I lose top speed-wise? I very rarely run her up that high, but on occasion I do.
Also, what are the pros/cons of a chain size conversion?
I'd appreciate any thoughts since this is my first chain drive bike.
