Hello gentlemen
My chain has been loosening itself a bit as of late and things are generally pretty worn (no clue when [if] the previous owner ever updating the sprockets and chain) so I was thinking I need an overhaul.
New front sprocket and rear sprocket, along with a new chain.
I believe on my bike ('75 cb400f) the stock sizing is 17t front, 39t rear...
I've noticed first gear is relatively short, and I top out at about 90 on the freeway.
What I'm curious to know, as a layman, is how altering the sizing of either the front sprocket, rear sprocket, or both, would effect the performance of my bike, both on the low and top ends...
Thanks for the wisdom!
