Doing my best for a Mike Meyers...

Hey, the online sprocket calculator still is kaputz, and I need to be ordering a set today or so.



Maybe I can get some group input. 



Say what you will, but I want ALL my power off idle. I understand dropping to a 16t on the front will get me closer to the wheelie monster I want to be.

What effect does adding a few teeth to the rear do? Shift torque down in the rpm range, adding to the wheelie effect, or does adding teeth to the rear decrease hiway rpm?

I was thinking of also adding 2 to the back. I'd now turn it from a 17/45 to a 16/47. What are the thoughts on a 16/50? What will this do to off idle and freeway rpm?

Regards- 

J
