what are your thougts on this. I know most people go to the 13/37 for ease of changing, but isn't it a slightly better idea to go larger in the rear? Let me know.

 

I went to a 13/38 set up. The 38 did help in low end performance but i think the 39 would be better. Not as much as a 13 front but a good compromise.

 

The stock 14/37 gearing is a 2.64 ratio. 13/37 is a 2.85 and 14/38 is 2.71 (you'll barely notice the difference), 14/39 is 2.79 and 14/40 is 2.86. I would just change the front out to a 13T. You'll lose some top speed, but 2nd-5th will be much more useable.

 

yup. i agree, the 13/37 is probably the best... my buddy had a 13/38 on his and i couldnt tell the difference between mine and his.

 

I would reccomend either going to a 14/39, or a 13/36. I went with the 13/37 combo, and even though I like the added bottom-end I think its a little too much. I'm going to drop back down to the 13/36 combo and see how I like it.....
