| thought i'll add to that :lol:
Front sprocket:
Adding a tooth to the front sprocket will increase top end speed (less low-end acceleration), remove a tooth to increase acceleration (lower top speed).
Rear sprocket:
The rear sprocket is the exact opposite as the front. Adding a tooth to the rear sprocket will increase acceleration (less top speed), remove a tooth to increase top speed (less low-end acceleration). You should also note that a 3 tooth change in the rear sprocket is equal to one tooth change in the front sprocket.
A general guideline is if you ride or race on a tight track without a lot of long straights, then you should run lower gearing (to improve acceleration). On bigger tracks with big sweeping turns and long straights, higher gearing would be best. Stock 50 gearing is 14t front and 37t rear
