    ya know what thats just what I needed to hear. it is a commuter bike and I should prob just keep the amount of project to a minimum.

        My bad, yes, I misread, I thought he was going up. If you go down to a 45 you may find the 550 is a little underpowered for that. I dropped 5 on the rear but the 750 has more than enough grunt to generate power with the different ratio.
