I've mentioned this kind of question before...
What's the cheapest, best bang for the buck way of experimenting with the chain conversion? Should I buy new or used parts? I gather that sprockets and chains tend to do best when replaced together.. right? That suggests new parts. However, if I change sprockets, that negates that effect.
Does anyone have something to sell me?
I noticed that 17/43 is popular, but I live in the mountains and already have the 140/90 tire, Has anyone tried a 17/47? After having driven my car a lot again, I feel like I'm revving the tar out of the bike at 60 indicated. I ride several miles of highway (not Interstate) during my regular commute. 60-70 mph is my typical highway speed.
I think I'm going to need a stronger clutch for harder takeoffs. Do you think I can stuff another couple of discs in there? (The "Yoda" Hi-Po clutch that people here have talked about). I only have about 18k on the bike? I remember that Oldfeller was collecting clutch discs.
Oh, yeah... as a reminder... my belt
must be replaced with something fairly soon, as it is torn half in two.
