Got some questions about gearing my F4 (more inside)

hi,

i changed the front sprocket on my F4 to a 15 tooth (1 less than stock). went on within 20 minutes.

same effect as going up 2-3 teeth in the rear but the only thing disadvantage in changing the rear is that a/ more labor b/ since you are moving 2-3 teeth up, you might need a new chain. hence more $$$

it is true that changing the front puts more stress on the chain but it is not like the chain is going to wear out within a few thousand miles. the stock chains these days are pretty damn good for approx 15-20K miles!!

i changed the front coz it was the same effect at a lower cost!! :D :D
