Mudstud...I run the 15/42 and while I agree that it's much easier job changing the counter sprocket I have to disagree about the difficulty of changing the rear. I didn't have to slide my axle or remove my skid but I did have to cut out the running edge of the stock plastic chain guard to get it to fit. All I did was loosen the chain, remove my rt.hub, remove the bolts from the sprocket, and slide the 40T off. Hope this helps your decision...

 

Prolly just theory.....to many of us run a 14 and for to long now. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

hey you guy's going out to dumont this weekend,i might go or i might practice at glen helen on sunday!!!

i will be entering a race very soon...

 

If you go to Glen Helen for sure. PM me and let me know. I'll go too. As far as Dumont...only for saturday. It suposed to rain some on Sat as well. So we'll see how that goes.

 

Hey Sam I just checked Glen Helen's site and they are racing MX for 2 wheelers Sat and Sun. Is the ATV track open for practice?

 

i am pretty sure i hope,i talked to phscho from the forum and i think he said glen helen this weekend,and i think you can go on the atv track,what other tracks are there...

 

There is the main MX track and then the Quad track. Also they have a pee wee track that is used for both 2 and 4 wheelers at diff times.

 

i think they are racing on sunday but i might hit up LACR track in palmdale ,they are open on sat for 20 dollars and are closer...

 

Here's my take on the 14/40 vs 15/42 debate.

I used to run the 15/42 and 15/41, then I ran into a slight problem. Those 41 and 42's were made out of aluminum and I kinda wore the teeth off both of them.

Since no one make them in steel, I decided to try the 14/40.

It feels the same as the 15/42 and so far no problems.

I will let you guys know if I ever have a problem, cause if anyone's going to have a problem, it's me![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Hey Mud! I just changed the rear on my baja to a 42 and all I had to was remove the hub on the sprocket side , slip the old sprocket out, grind the inside edges of my rwr 42 and slipped it on no problem. No axle removed.
