    I just bought a restored 1979 390 CR that has what I think is the stock 13/53 front to rear sprocket sizes. What type of top speed in 6th gear is this going to give me? I had an 1983 Husky 250 XC which was pretty long legged which I liked. Do not remember the sprocket sizes on that one? Thanks!

    Using a on line chart this makes it a 4.08 geared bike. Holy smokes! Climb a mountain. Think I may drop 3-4 teeth on rear.
