3rd gen. Sprockets...Smaller front or bigger rear?


Recommended Posts

Good day gents,I'm looking for some more acceleration and have been looking at sprockets.

 

Now ,from your wealth of experience ,would you say a smaller front is better than a larger rear. I'm thinking of either dropping a tooth on the front or adding a tooth to the rear.(maybe more)

There is a small cost difference but I'm keen to know what others have done. 

By the way my drive chain is about midway through the adjustment cycle so re -adjustment shouldn't be a problem. 

I've included a picture of my bike too on a recent weekender. 

Thanks in advance.

try +2 or +3 at rear. smaller front sprocket causes more chain wear. use steel sprocket or expect alloy to need replacement more often, not something a $cotsman would want. 😀
