    On my 2009 TXC-510. I am having trouble riding in the proper gear.
    At my travelling speed I am switching between top of 3rd and bottom of 4th.
    What is the rule on this. Change the front sproket first, up or down as needed.
    If that isn't enough, change the rear sproket, up or down?

    What are you guys/gals using on the TXC-510??

    Welcome to Cafe Husky Dashboy.
    When you say gearing is this for trail riding or fireroads etc.

    Top of third is pretty fast for the trails I'm on.

    Rule of thumb: one tooth in the front equals 2 the back.
    Changing a front sprocket up or down is easier (don't have to remove the rear wheel) and cost less. Going up in the back is better for your chain than going down in the front. (Chain has a longer radius to travel around.) This is easier on your chain.

    I went up two in the rear for a better response in the tighter S/T stuff.
    But it kills your overall top speed on fireroads.
    Hope that help ya a bit.

    In the TE 510 I went up one in the front to give me more top end. It gives me a bit more top end and wider ratios and I can use the stock chain. Also, it is easy to to in a few minutes. Going smaller in the front is a problem with the chain turning a tighter radius and it can bind and cause excessive wear.

    Good Luck;)

    I am out here in Dubai, UAE. I am running on Sand Dunes.
    Last night I bought a front sprocket T14. I'll give it a try this weekend.
