Just like on your push bike;
Larger at the back = quicker acceleration off the mark, but limited top speed.

ok ok hold up a minute here lads i sugested 14/46 for a joke, only a crazy fool would run that gearing on the road, actually i think i remember gareth running something silly like this. Ive tried 14/44 on the RVF and it was a major handfull.

+2 on the rear is a nice combination for the road if you find standard gearing abit sluggish, i say stick with standard and learn to corner faster :grin:

you'll have a fight geting a 46 to actually fit mate... I had a 45 that was a bastard.

14/41 for the win!

(saying that, I am going back to std or poss 15/41 when I need another chain)
