Hey dude's!
Just a quick one about sprockets. I know that if you add or take a tooth of a sprocket you can alter the way that the bike moves. But i have forgoten which way around it is  :duh: . Is it add one for better acceleration or take one off for better acceleration. Thanks.

add more at the back to improve acceleration, less to improve top speed

one up at the front = 3 down at the back
one down at the front = 3 up on the back

Nice one, more accelleration is good

More acceleration is good but lowering the gearing on the B4 seems like it would render 1st gear almost unusable, IMHO.

well the first gear on my B4 vv is so short any way it is really not a problem, most of the power comes in second gear any way(at the speeds i want the power that is ne way). BTW what does IMHO stand for ????? :stickpoke:
