okay, so this might seem dumb but I'd appreciate the help

what would changing my sprocket to a different teeth size effect, and could someone write up a comparison between the

65 tooth

70 tooth

and

72 tooth?
 
Final drive ratios:

Take your current rear belt teeth count and dived it by your front belt teeth count and that will give your final drive ratio.

Now find a set of sprockets when divided to one another equals your current ratio and that's your starting point.

If you want quicker acceleration (but will slow your top speed), go to a bigger final drive ratio. (using what you have as a starting point, either go bigger in rear teeth count, or go smaller in front teeth count).


If you want more top speed (but slower acceleration) go smaller in teeth count in the rear, or larger teeth count in the front.

For top speed, use the engines redline, divide that by the final drive, now use the drive wheel's circumference to determine top speed.

Theirs all the info you need, now let’s see what you do with it!

so I can't really find any info on the front sprocket, anyone know if there's an actual difference between our bikes, I'm still using the belt I'm just buying for a separate set of rims so I don't have to change everything

I found a 76T rear sprocket in an old ebay page and nowhere else anyone know what it came off of?

and lastly anyone know how much of a difference there would be between the 70 and 72T?
 
so I seem to be facing the decision of my current 2.41
vs 2.59 and 2.66 if I did my math right
