By using the 23 top with the 36 bottom I can get around the 1.56 gear ratio with I think a 68 link chain. I already have a 23 top I just need the 36 bottom. Instead of getting a 24 top with the 37 or 38 bottom then I would have to buy another chain.
If that makes any sense? I have a buddy that ran this gear ratio & loved it. He says the motor has plenty of power on the bottom end to pull the lower gear, then U get alot better mid range & more top end.
