i have a 300ex and the sprockets are 13f and 38b and that makes my gears short but every on is telling me to get 14f and 36b how much longer will my gears be??

 

[Redracer]

Wouldn't that make the gears quicker? Stock gear ratio is 2.92, that set up would make it 2.57.

u should try 14 38 first

 

[Redracer]

I agree with 300...

 

[gilby400ex]

i had that same problem and i jumped up to a 14 in front and now it works nicely

 

[3o0ex622]

but i thought it was bigger the front and smaller the back the gears are alil longer cuz i got 13f and 38 back and i can top out at 40 yards and there tooooooo short so useing only 14 front will make a dif?????

Your rear tire play a big part in the ratio as well. I run 14/36 with 19-10X9 rear and i am winding out way to quick it feels like i need a 6th gear when I get to the top. I'm switching to 14/38 and see how it does.

so i should just get the 14 front cuz i got a 38 in the back

yes, the bigger the front sprocket the longer the gear will be and the more top end you will have opposite is true for rear (smaller = longer more top). Changing one tooth on the front is the eqivalent of changing three on the back. You can get a front sprocket cheap for under $10 whereas a rear is at least $20+. Without more mods a 14/36 gear would probably make it feel weaker on the bottom. Tire size has alot to do with this as well. What size do you run?
