First post here...I kno :oops:w I found out the hard way that a 14 up front is as low as you can go with a 520 oring on a 92 500. Gotta go up in the rear. I ride in the woods so I don't need to go 40 in 1st. Where would I be with say a 14/54 combo?

In my opinion,yeah...but I have no idea what your terrain looks like.14/48 works "good" for me.The majority of my "tight trails" are roughly 4' wide...or just wide enough for a quad to slowly go through....and there are a few that get even tighter,but only for short distances.
I think Alward25 and The Flyin Hawaiian are closer to what would be more realistic for strictly trails.I'm a little hesitant about going much lower cause my riding is sporadic....I could be in trails for an hour,then out in open power lines for an hour,where I would want that top end run-out.
What are you running as of right now??
