Recent posts got my curiousity up on the difference in rpm/mph ratio
between 15tooth and 16tooth front sprockets. Perhaps this has been
done before but I couldn't find it. So, I attempted and hopefully
succeeded in putting a simple comparison together using math but no
real world confirmation as to the accuracy or lack of.
!!-P L E A S E N O T E -!! This has not been confirmed accurate and
I sure would like feedback as I could be off base here. However I
think it pretty accurate.
For anyone interested, go here:

and let me know any feedback --especially if you think this is not
accurate.

If they stop as well as the Galfer greens, I'd be interested in the
savings. Otherwise the greens are cheap insurance on the street.
