It has recently come to my attention that a 14/33 (.424) combo might work better than the often recommended 17/45 (.378). The figures in decimal are direct representations of the ratio...it helps my brain to see it that way. To me, it just looks taller, like going with 17/40 (.425)

What I'm trying to understand is what the YouTuber is trying to explain, but either I'm missing it or what he's saying simply does not compute. I was hoping to get you guys' expert opinion on the matter. He does explain that a similar Honda from the factory comes with the 14/33 combo, which I find intriguing.
