I dropped down to a 13 in the front too. I thoght the gearing was a little too low so I also dropped the rear sprocket one tooth as well. I was really really happy with the results. It was geared alot lower for hill climbing and I wasnt constantly shifting when on the trails. With the 13 up front and the stock in the rear, it seemed like 1st was almost uselesss.
