Time for a 'resident thicky' question again!!! Cheesy Cheesy

How will increasing the number of teeth on the rear sprocket by two, and decreasing the number of teeth on a front sprocket by one affect performance?

Thanks in advance

Generaly you want to increase the front and reduce the rear to improve top speed, depends what your looking to do.

Cheers for those answers, but I only need a generalisation. More acceleration, or higher speed, that sort of thing!

bigger back and smaller front, less speed more acceleration.
