Cool Went down 1 in front

Finally got around to swappin the front sprocket. Surprisingly enough, it only took me about 45 min. I took it around the block, but that was it due to the weather. I am really happy with the difference. Although, I did notice that 1 or 2 more chain adjustments, and it'll be time for a new chain. Probably finish off the 520 conversion then. Sorry for my babble, just a little excited, and dying to get some more seat time.

What does that mean? You should either have the 520 stuff or not.

Cool, HOWEVER, you should be changing ALL the sprockets and chain in a SET. Sprockets and chains wear as a set and putting a new sprocket on an old chain and rear sprocket is gonna kill the lifetime of that front sprocket not to mention when you finally get a new rear sprocket and new chain it will not take long to "stretch" (actually wear, elongate, the bushings on the chain) the chain. I recommend going ahead and getting your chain and rear sprocket you want asap. Just my .02
