Front sprockets are really cheap. Like $23. Play around with a couple until you like the way things work. Any front sprocket smaller than say 16 tooth tends to wear your chain faster than you probably want to put up with. What we've always done is find the gearing we want by playing with the primary. When we get what we want we go with a 16 tooth primary and adjust the rear sprocket using a ratio of 2.5:1 (1 tooth on the primary equals 2 and one half on the secondary. For example if you drop from a 16 to a 14 and you like that but want to eliminate excessive chain wear, put your original 16 back on and add 6 teeth to the rear. You have to round up because rear sprockets don't come in odd sizes. On the other hand if excessive chain wear doesn't bother you just use the smaller primary. I just bought a 15 tooth front to replace my original 16, and if I like it it will stay on. I won't bother about chain wear.) In any event primary sprockets are cheap and easy to change. We usually keep a few around for different types of riding.

That's what I'm thinking lately. I bought the 15 tooth primary. Now I want to add either 2 or 4 at the rear. ( Ya Ya -- so what I'm pushin' 50 and My real motive is wheelies, but BIG DEAL :)
