I'm looking for more torque in lower gears so I don't have to shift so high and as often in the city. Can someone provide a good link to purchase a good chain and sprocket kit? I've found some but they are stock and vary from 170-210 $. Any input would be greatly appreciated. How much should I expect to pay for installation at a shop? Newb here, sorry

Jim will make what ever size you want.
Prices are extreamly reasonable.

You know, there's a sub-forum called "Tyre Talk, Chains and Sprockets". If you have a look there, you'll find the answer you seek without asking the same question for the 1,345,281st time - and you'll have an immediate answer.

Generally speaking, your probably looking at something like 15/49 or 15/50. This will lower your top end though, as any change made to the sprockets is an all across the board change.
I'm currently running 15/50 and like it a lot. No need to down shift a lot of the time as I can just power through it. I do much city riding, but this is in ref. to aggressive riding in the curves. We don't have much straights around here.
