Was just wondering the main opinion:

Which Sprocket Combo are you running, and what are the advantages? :

16f/38r
16f/ 40r
16f/41r

or

17f/38r
17f/ 40r
17f/41r
i have been wondering aswell, so thanks for posting will be looking out for the opinions..

also does the chain need to be changed
And when the decision has been made which sprocket to switch to where is the best supplier?
B&C?
16/39

Define best?

B&C

Next time i will be switching to 520pitch though!
Best in my book is quality of product and service. Price is secondary.
Don't think Klink will be impressed. Yet another thread started in the wrong category, or are you just trying to wind him up as he has time on his hands?

Let's see what Klink says. You might be ok.
16/40 works best for me (both on track and road). No need to change chain.
16/40 works well
Ditto
What are the advantages to 16/40 over stock ?
16/38 good on the road good on the track for me anyway. and very very easy to wheelie with
Rallsy. General consensus is that 16/40 gives the best balance of acceleration for the SD gearbox combined with top speed. For general road /track riding. You just need to try things to see what suits your own riding. I got a set of different rear sprockets from a Sd racer off EBay and tried them all out. Got loads of different options. Going up a tooth or two on the back makes the bike rev out quicker in every gear.

Having messed about with wheelies, I reckon Sabre has a point though. If you're into wheelies the 16/40 runs out of revs a bit quick in first so going to his favourite combo would let the bike keep the revs for longer so you have a bit more time lofted before having to change up.
