September 20, 201114 yr Hi, My TY175 is standard i think, but i am using it for long distance trials and could see a benefit for taller gears for the road work. I could change up the front sprocket from 13 to a max of 17 - anyone have any experience on what would work? Also are there implications for a new sprocket meeting an old chain, and would i need to shorten the chain? cheers

What year ty175 do you have and how long is a long distance trial?

What year ty175 do you have and how long is a long distance trial? its a 1976 and the distances are about 60-90 miles with road work between sections. my top speed at mo is 35-40 mph but its working the engine too hard and i can't bear it! i dont want to go much faster, just take it easier on the engine but still be able to ride steep off-road sections
