do you think a 15 front and 36 rear sprocket set up be good for riding mx? im not really sure what to make it because im trying to get speed and still be able to get out of corners good. im riding on 18inch tires.

with your 18s that will be a good combo. it will be like running 15/38 with 20s actually. either one is a good combo for all around grunt and speed. you can play with this if you want to,

there is about a 3 mph difference in the 20" 15/38 and the 15/36 18" going to the 20" setup. so if you like a bit more low without sacraficing my speed the 18" setup would be great. this is all with a stock setup engine and stuff but givces a decent comparison. steve

I run a 14-36 and find that it’s a bit short on the top end. Next set of sprockets and chain I get I my try a 15-37 set up. The 14-36 is fine though it’s just a bit short on the few strait always we have so a 15-37 should be rite on.
