depends on what sprocket you want to loose teeth off of. less teeth up front means more bottom end...less teeth on the rear sprocket means more top end....comprende' :D

There is 1 more thing to know about sprocket sizes though.Increasing 4 sizes on the rear sprocket is like dropping 1 size up front. Understand? Changing 1 sprocket up front has the same effect as changing 4 sizes on the rear either up and down...hope this helps.

gearing the bike up does not increas top end power.. it increases top end speed...
