vertigo Dougie Lampkin 300cc 2020 front & rear sprocket sizes

It as a 10T on the front, 42T on the rear, what do you guys use tooth wise? it was my first ride today and it was a little high geared! your input would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance

Its a fairly common situation across all makes, largely based on riders own personal preferences. I use 9 tooth front sprocket to make a 300 Beta easier to ride.

To lower the gearing,  a general guidance is :  drop a tooth on front sprocket, (you will get a similar result by going up 4 teeth on the rear).

Front sprocket cheaper & quicker option.  (less likely to have to mess around with your chain length). 

You will notice a difference, & 2nd gets used a bit more often.

i personally don't mess with the gearing, but I do ride 90% of the time in first gear. but I know a couple of lads that drop the

rear sprocket down to a 41t but you'll need to remove the half link out of the chain
