I swapped it out at 1000 miles. About 2k now.
Changing the front sprocket is something I'm considering. I'm also thinking of keeping the stock front sprocket and changing the rear to a 46. I found a final gear ratio calculator (can't find it now, though) that calculated a 13/44 setup as, I think 3.38 and the 14/46 as 3.22. Doesn't seem like a lot of difference between the two but, I don't know very much about changing final drive ratios.
