My guy, have you by any chance tried like a front sprocket more/less teeth? Heard some say a 17 teeth front can be good? Personally if I ever wanna try change anything about the sprockets then its having to shift less or more acceleration. As loosing some top speed aint an issue for me
i would just be worried about the lube geting on the tire and wheel but nothing a little brake parts cant clean up quick. just dont use brake parts on painted items because it will strip to bare metal, or discolor any paint it touches.
