| Let talk sprockets....
if you wanna know why making this change makes the bike accelerate faster, think of a lever.... We'll use the same easy numbers as in my last post so we'll say it's 10" from the pivot point on one side, 30" on the other... and a big rock (or motorcycle) sitting on the short end.... you make the short end 1 inch shorter, it's gonna be easier to move the object.... if you leave the short end at 10" & add 3" to the long end to make it 33", it'll feel the same as if you took 1" off the short end.
It's all about leverage & ratios. |
