Why are the majority of the Hawk owners going with 17/45 sprockets (2.65)? Why not 15/40(2.67)? It will be close to the same ratio and would only need to change the rear sprocket. I know I would have to cut the chain but that's easy stuff. This would shorten the chain by 2 links. Shorter chain less stretching. The 45 tooth sprockets are $25 and not in stock but I can get a 40 tooth for under $19. Has anyone done this combo with any issues? Just think outside the box.
