I tried to order a rear SuperSpox sprocket from Off The Road and they are out of stock of the standard 45 tooth version but the did say this:

"If you buy new sprockets, you should think to take 15/48 instead of 15/45 (stock). The bike runs much, much better with the shorter gear ratio."


Would this be true? What difference to performance, pull away etc do the extra teeth make? Any advice Kev?

ps reason for SuperSpox is that the Renthal alloy has worn quickly.
