Title: Over sized rear sprockets
Post by: joebloggs on 12 November 2015, 10:30:04 am: I'm going to be naked so top speed is going to be limited by my puny arms not being able to hang on much over 100 (KMH) so has anyone fitted a 50 tooth rear and was the difference noticable (not concerned about fuel consumption)

Did it require a non standard chain length?

Anyone gone larger, say 52?

There was a forward facing camera I used to set off quite regularly and I always had the urge to strip off everything other than my boots and lid and pass it, would loved to have seen the look on their faces when they got the pics developed :eek
