Thanks for all the great info. Amazing what can happen when you have a bunch of options!
Based on the main shaft and R&P that I sent out, here are the two most popular choices:
R/P 3.80, 2.06, 1.48, 1.17, .089 (The knuckles blend)
R/P 3.80, 2.06, 1.48, 1.12, .089 (The Alb blend)
Lucky for me, I've got a few months to figure out what that .05 means. It sounds like it goes all the way back to what Tony told me on the phone last month: "It all boils down to what 3rd and 4th you go with..." Seems like the 1.48 is the defacto replacement third.
I'm almost afraid to ask... If I went with 10 tooth spider gears, do I need different axle end gears?
Thanks for the gearing lessons. I really appreciate the info!
