not a valid argument when you can run up to a 65 in mini gears .At the risk of sounding like Al,
One thing worth noting is that as you get smaller, your gear ratio changes become larger. For example:
Lets say I need more acceleration out of the corner.
If I am running an 11/44 (tiny gear set) and i want to go up one tooth to an 11/45, I have changed my ratio by 0.09 (4.00->4.09).
If I am running a 15/60 and I want to go up one tooth to a 15/61, I have changed my ratio by 0.06 (4.00 -> 4.06)
With the tiny gear sets, it is harder to make small gear ratio changes.
Standard 35 chain.Unless I am missing something, this is what I am finding on TRJ.
$25 per sprocket
$31 gear guard
$31 hub
I cant find anywhere what chain you have to run. Anybody want to fill me in? Seems a bit expensive to just "give it a shot" but that's just me.
Telling people what I believe or do not believe does me a disservice. Without a quote, and a reference, what you are saying is only a hearsay statement. In my memory, I never made the statement you attribute to me, but I could be wrong.He is technically correct. A 4.00 ratio is a 4.00 ratio no matter the combination to get there. Where I start to disagree with Al is that he believes that they all behave the same. A 4.00 ratio with a 15/60 and a 4.00 ratio with a 12/48 will behave very differently. The ratio will be the same at the end of the day, but they will do that ratio differently.
The post above the one you quoted was refrencing in the past where gearing comes up and you preach that a ratio is a ratio is a ratio.Telling people what I believe or do not believe does me a disservice. Without a quote, and a reference, what you are saying is only a hearsay statement. In my memory, I never made the statement you attribute to me, but I could be wrong.
As far as different size gears, with the same ratio, performing differently, opinions are just like that thing you're sitting on, everybody has one. Me included.
If you don't mind sharing, what size tracks are you using it on?So far I like the mini system. Still have both.

I have used it on big pavement tracks and a few dirt tracks on champ karts.
Here is how I made my decision to give it a try.
1. My big gear set looks like a yard sale with the mix match gears acquired over the years.
2. Hadn't used anything over a 65 in the back in a while so the top range on the mini didn't concern me.
3. I like the PMI stuff and quality.
You are not sounding like Al.
IMHO Al never made that good point.
IMHO his wrong incorrect bull was always and probably still is an argument about ratio is a ratio, which is still wrong and not correct.
This is when you switch to shifter kart mode and change clutch AND axle together like we do in the gear banging world.At the risk of sounding like Al,

Add in a set of 219 drivers , sprockets and chains .Glad to know I'm not the only one that has a gear set that looks like I have acquired one of every brand/type ever made over the years...
Did or RLV for 219 chain?Add in a set of 219 drivers , sprockets and chains .
Now you really have a mix .
Nobody said same ratio, and with mini gears its not same ratio.Telling people what I believe or do not believe does me a disservice. Without a quote, and a reference, what you are saying is only a hearsay statement. In my memory, I never made the statement you attribute to me, but I could be wrong.

10/40 = 4-1Nobody said same ratio, and with mini gears its not same ratio.
