[QUOTE="whereshaldo, post: 176379, member: 10940"] I'm currently running a 14 x 37 which is just slightly longer than the stock but shorter than running the 15 x 36. I'm trying to find that balance between the extra top speed with the longer gears but not too much sacrifice on the torque for the hills i encounter. Once I get the carb sorted, I may move to the 15x36 and find there is enough to keep me moving. I realize a stroker would help, as would a 125 Lifan, but I want a stock look and I'm not really looking for more speed, just a little more guts. Above 40mph, the brakes and front suspension start to get a little squirrely and to fix that it starts to become a custom cub rather than a fairly stock looking setup. Hell, I'm just trying to talk myself out of buying the $150 125cc Stella thats for sale in my hood. 1 old car project and one old scooter project are enough. Beyond that I run out of room and time in equal measure. Hal . [/QUOTE]
