Reading Pat's information he went down 1 tooth on the front and up 3 teeth on the rear and was pleased with the results. I'd like to try this myself but am put off by the costs not only of the sprockets but you'll need a speedo healer as well and then you have the ongoing additional costs due to a reduction of MPG by 10-11%. If I'm out on a 'spirited' ride the fuel light will come on after 135 miles which is bad enough but after changing both sprockets this would drop to 120 miles.
The last time I considered this option I decided against it on the basis that I couldn't really justify the costs and if I need more acceleration I can just drop a couple of gears. If you do decide to go for it let us know how you get on.
