Well whats a good stump pulling gear for my lifan
Well things change as I just bought a new bike and now the lifan will be trail riding fun bike. I don't need to go fast I want to learn wheelies and I need to keep up on the trail. I know what I need sprocket wise I need tooth wise. Im at 17/56 now . I'm thinking either 14 tooth or 13 . What top speed would I be looking at 32mph to 35mph would be fine right?

It's kind of a crapshoot, with a few variables. Just try one and see if you like it.

Keep the sadistic 56, and like Weld stated try one and then the other to see which one is better. Counter-sprockets are cheap enough to order one of each (16, 15, 14, etc). I would hesitate to go lower than 14 IMO, but this is from someone who absolutely hates the TMEC's stock 17/56 combo due to its stump-pulling like nature! That is bad enough, let alone I can only imagine going to a 16 or 15!!
