[QUOTE="Smokin Joe, post: 118116, member: 18130"] [b]Don't be afraid to experiment![/b] Normally I run 13/52 on my 250EXC as it is a good compromise for the tight trails and deep sand that I ride in Meridian. But I have run 12/52 for extremely tight, hilly, offcamber switchback type terrain with good results. I know all the pundits say to never run a 12T C/S :silly: but I routinely switch back and forth when needed. Basically gives you a granny / escape gear for nasty hills, tightens up the wide ratio gearbox, lessens the need for clutch slipping and enables more use of third gear in the woods. The obvious downside is that your top end speed drops considerably. But if you're running tight trails all day with no fire roads you'd never miss it. Joe [/QUOTE]
