Re: 3r!c84 build

Ouch! That's badass stunts. I'm not about that really lol a few power wheelies here and there . But I was thinking of doing the -1/+2 sprocket change. Or should I go more ?

some people swear by the -1 in the front since it's like 3+ in the back, but I don't like how tight the chain turns going down 1 in the front... I just wouldn't feel comfortable with the angle that it has to make, I went from a 40 to a 50, and it was good as a highway sprocket, I could still clutch up in 3rd gear (bike hasn't been running right in a while though) went to a 53, and rebuilt my motor, and I could clutch up sitdowns in 4th at like 60 mph. before my crank sensor failed and threw me over the bars on I20 east lol.

For just street riding you'll gain a little acceleration going up like 3 in the back. you'll probably have to add 2 links, and slide your wheel in a little.

I did bmx for the longest and would change to 25/9 tooth talk about chain bending lol but a lot less power going to it... I just want a little more acceleration and still keep my highway driving ability.

HAHAHA, I ran the same gearing on my FBM! Howler frame, Demolition bars, Eastern niner hubs/rims, profile cranks.

I would say just go up 3 in the back to get little extra UMPH for acceleration. Hopefully I'll be getting my sensors and have the stunt piece back for some street murder this week :p
