What Size Sprockets!!!!

[wogtaz ryder]

well i was just wondering about what size sprockets to put on my bike its got a 41 t on the back and the front i havnt counted .. but i am racing it tomorow and on this track im flat over revving it in second but in 3rd its to sluggish coz tracks to small for third .. so just wondering how would i make
2nd gear last abit longer or shorten the gearing to make 3rd abit slower and rev more aroudn the track any help is appreciated

thx

Put a 37 on the back, those 41's are horrible, no speed at all, I think you'll like the 37 alot better.

k thx but what will that do to my gearing ??? just worried about 2nd and 3rd really need 2nd abit longer and 3rd abit shorter or either one. thx.

i dont really care about the top speed of it if thats wat 37t will do just the acceleration coz i dont get near flat in 3rd so want it lowered around this track that is

obvously u know that a 37 tooth adds top speed so maybe do the math and reverse that?

haha..
41 will have more exelleration..
but 37 spreads there gears out a lot more
37's are better just get one of them and you could get one for like 20 bucks so you may as well give it a shot..
