Thanks

You will gain more top speed and sacrifice low end.

 

LOS,

Here is the deal on sprockets.

First, you never want to go smaller on the front if you can avoid it. I will only use a smaller front for a quick test. If it works, I make the difference using the stock front (or larger) and a different rear.

The reason why going to a smaller front is bad is because the chain is forced to change velocity at a much higher rate on the smaller sprocket. That is a power robber and a chain killer.

Most people just go with the smaller front because it is a cheap gear change but anyone who knows, will buy the chain and go with the rear.
