[QUOTE="Mikeb, post: 76412, member: 16131"] A 50 tooth rear sprocket does make a big difference especially in between gears. It seems like you dont have to wind the bike up as hard before shifting to a higher gear. It also seems to lug a little better as well as climb hills better. My advice to you is to get a stock length chain and instead of buying a 50 tooth rear sprocket, buy a 12 tooth front sprocket (real close in ratio to using a 13 front and 50 rear) and try it. If you dont like it then buy a 13 tooth front and you will be back at stock 13/47 ratio. The smaller front doesnt require a longer chain like the 50 tooth rear sprocket will. You will lose "some" speed but IMHO is well worth the trade off. I made the switch last year to a 12 front and wont go back to a 13. [/QUOTE]
