Just a quick question about Sprockets! If I wanted a little more low-end torque than stock, which would you recommend, a 14t front or a 39t rear and why? That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! By the way, I ride mostly on trails and in small open areas. Thanks!!!!!!!!!:confused:

14 tooth is cheeper and faster to change
A 39 tooth in the rear is not going to give as much low end as a 14 tooth. One tooth higher in the rear is in between.
I believe 2 teeth in the rear is like one tooth different in the front. Something like that. :cool:

You may like the 39 tooth in the rear better. You don't loose so much top end. With a 14 tooth I was allways looking for that sixth gear.

1 tooth in the front is equal to 2.5 in the rear, so if u want just a little bit more bottom end, id say get the 39 in the rear, but if ur looking for a lot more tourge and top end is nothing to you get the 14.
