Sprocket change suggestions

dzl862 · 08-23-2021, 01:15 AM

I’m looking at the sprockets, now knowing that a larger front and a smaller rear increases top speed (see my last post to see me learn the hard way), and I want to make the gears as tall as possible, meaning increasing my top speed with disregard for torque lost. This would mean that I use the biggest front sprocket I can find and the smallest rear, which would be a 17F and a 34R on a 428 chain, or a 14F and a 30R on a 520. Which would ultimately increase my top speed, make the gears taller, and push my bike further?
