Nightmare Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 What up homies, I have a question about gearing. Im running 300ft sand drag and was wondering if going from a 14t front sprocket to a 13t will do me any good. I have a 42t in the rear with 22in 10 paddle haulers. I thought i would ask before i went out and bought one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Depends on what its doing with the current gearing. Is it running out of gear? are u ending the track not at the end of a gear? Are your gears to long inbetween shifts. Or are u shifting to fast because of to short of gearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I was asking because the 14t thats on there has 3 broken teeth and my neighbor will sell me one for 15 bucks. I launch in 2nd and shift into 6th as soon as i cross the traps. Does that sound about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Your drag racing with a sprocket that has 3 broken teeth? No, this was at test n tune. i loaded it up after i made the discovery and called it a day. It has since been replaced so its all good now.

BB3 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Sick how are your 60' times with them 10 paddle haulers on the bike? With those tires im sure u could go to a 15 up front or drop down to a 40 in the rear on it. Best thing to do is take some gears with ya and try out different combos to help with the 60' times and the overall run in 300' . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
