I guess it would all depend on what type of riding you do and what your looking for. With 22's and that weight, I still think I'd stick with the 15 tooth, but thats just me. A 14 tooth might be just a bit too much. Just my opinion.

Id say start wit a 15 tooth, then you'll know what its like to drop a tooth and will be able to make a decision on if you want more or not.

I went straight to a 14T and love it. Im only 185 and its still hard to hit the rev limiter in 5th with my 22 inch tires on. With the 16T and 20s I was always hitting it.

I weigh about the same as you. I run 15. it works fine. but, I was thinking the 14 would be even better. I also run 22"

What exactly does lowering the front gear do. Top speed or quickness?

Quickness, you loose some top end but you get up to speed quicker.
