I'm thinking of goin -1 in the front and +2 in the back. Is this a prettystandard/decentsetup? Not trying to do any slow stuff really. Any recommended brand. I think I heard to stay away from Vortex. Anyone have a decent web store they get their stuff from?

 

i'd go with www.gearedsteelproducts.com

 

get a steel rear sprocket dont go with anything alum.

 

Thanks. Is that an ok gear setup? Not trying to do the real slow stuff.

 

"Ok" is very broad. Refine your question more and youll get a better answer.

 

What is a common gear setup to run when doin this kind of stuff. Looking for gearing to eventually get high chairs up and some higher speed stuff. I'm not lookin for a 70 tooth rear. Just didnt know how many teeth to go up on the rear

 

you can rock stock gears and still be able to hit wheelies from 20mph to 120 mph. changing to -1+2 is pretty much a waste of money (to me) since i learned to ride idle on stock gears. I have been running a 56 tooth VORTEX sprocket w/ a stock front sprocket for a year now. Vortex has never givien me problems. just get a good chain that wont stretch much.

 

Whats it top out at with that sprocket? What rpm is it at just cruisin on the highway?

 

you can do anything on stock gears.

i have vortex sprocket and haven't had any problems.

 

couldnt really tell you the speed. but if i remember from the last time i ran gauges, i was cruising around 8 or 9 k on the freeway. the speed limit was 65 but i was still passing traffic.
