Re: better acceleration
14 tooth front sprocket is far and away the cheapest and easiest way to get more acceleration.May get more rapid chain wear though,so you need to lube up well.

Re: better acceleration
Also likely to be quite nasty for motorway use.

Re: better acceleration
Go on a diet.
But seriously, up a tooth or two on the rear sprocket will also work as an alternative. |
