Hey Guys, I've been wanting to re gear my Terra, for better off road going...Had checked several places trying to find c/s and rear sprockets....I found some at a tourtecnical site....had some offerings but the reviews weren't positive at all... The site with the fancy rear sprocket didn't have the combo I was interested in....I finally found Sprocketcenter.com , Spoke with Chad there and they had the hookup I've opted for a 49 rear and a 15 front got a DID X ring chain and the whole kit and caboodle was a mere $150 shipped to my house...They even included an extra master link....Cheers to them for real quik knowledgeable service....parts all shrink wrapped together and boxed up tight.....No I don't work for them but they had everything I wanted were able to give me good input and had it to me USPS Priority mail...I'll try to upload a pic later
Man, you could have had it in red!! Forgetting about the color, read down the thread to get to the bit about a bolt end rubbing the chain. A lot of people like that 15/49...hope you do, too. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=22235548&postcount=1473
I went 15/45 to slightly lower my gearing by 2.4%. Happy with the result as my highway cruising speed will increase slightly to 4,600rev/min.
I have run my Strada on 15/49 for the past 8k km and for me it is the perfect gearing for roads here in Philippines. Fuel economy is not really affected because the speeds are around 80-100 kmph but roads are twisty and it enables me to remain in higher gears longer. Max speed is around 160 kmph, which is quite fast enough. I have a JT Front 15 and a Supersprox Rear 49 with a Renthall X Ring chain - it is a good set up.
