Max F Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) more teeth on the chain ring = heavier gearing (higher top speed) less teeth on the chain ring = lighter gearing (better for pedal kicks and quick acceleration) more teeth on the rear sprocket = lighter gearing less teeth on the rear sprocket = heavier gearing that easy what gearing your run depends on your riding style and your personal preference Edited February 6, 2014 by Max F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkdougie Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Personally I'd learn on the bike you have and leave it standard. Once you feel the bike is holding you back upgrade to a better bike and sell the bike you have now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
