I just got threw riding my Mojave with all the extras, and I run through the gears like nothing. Will a 13 front spocket work good? Will i loose bottom end when i put it on. Will it make it run though the gears a little slower. Thanks

Did you switch to 20" rear tires? I asked this because that's what I did w/Shredder 20-11-10 so to compensate I went with a 13 front and a 41 rear and I am happy with it. Compared to the stock 22-10-10 with 12/43 gearing I would say that I lost a little bottom end and gained a little top end speed.

Sorry I forgot to say I have 18's on my Mojave now. I did have 20's. I don't want to loose a lot of bottom end but I don't care much about top end.

with 18 inch tire and stock gearing you are really geared low. you are really zipping through the gears and first must feel like its all but useless. I'm not sure what you are looking for but you will surely benefit from a gearing change. Start with a 13 frt. Its cheap, easy to put on, and you dont need to change your chain length. Then ride and see how you like it. I like the 13/43 gearing but I have 22 inch holeshots. If it still seems geared to low for you, then try the 41 rear. I have even seen people run a 37 rear but that has to kill some of the quickness that makes for so much fun. A lot of top end is not that great if it takes all day to get there.
