    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It's that time again, time to buy the chain and sprockets. I would like to go up on both the front and back, stock is a 14/45, and I would like to go to a 15/50. The final ratio ends up being slightly lower, but my goal is to be able to change the front sprocket to a 14 for drag racing. Question is this, has anybody done this, I'm concerned about clearance, but I'm not sure how to check it, until I buy all the parts. Thanks!
 
Clearance would not be an issue with that small an increase in tooth count, Go for it .

I'm going to convert to a 520 setup soon. I'm looking at 16/44 on the gearing since the tire I'm running is smaller in diameter than stock. Right now I'm at 14/42 and the bike is pretty rev happy so 16/44 won't be a problem, neither will clearance.
