[ST] chain

["Don Olson" <cascadebluingarms@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My RS has the 19/43 sprocket combination.  I can push the rear axle
> forward 3/4".  Will a 46 tooth rear sprocket fit without lengthening
> the chain?

If you are worried about the chain not fitting, instead of looking at the
rear sprocket look at the front. I have a '02 ST and after looking at all
the combinations decided on the simple and cheep change of going to an 18 on
the front. We have the same gearing. Was the best thing I've done so far.
Woke up the bottom and mid range and had no effect on the top. No difference
in mileage either and really put some pep in her step. Only a 250 rpm
difference less than 5%. If having even teeth Ft. and Back is bad it would
have the same effect with the stock setting with both odds. Fronts are easy
to come by also. The T'Bird guys go the 19 tooth so there are plenty of 18's
around. Or aftermarkets are very inexpensive.
