Re: Gears... 15/41 Stock v.s. 18/38 mod

18 divided by 15 time 100 = 120%
38 divided by 41 = 92.7%
An increase of 20% up front and a decrease at the rear of 7.3% is a total of 27.3% change in the gearing.
Just try a 16 tooth sprocket up front, you might like it and if you don't it is a cheap experiment.
