Wondering if the size of gears we choose affects speed run performance. For instance, we all know the gear ratio is a huge factor, but what about running 34/34 vs 39/39? Does the added weight of a 39T vs a 34T gear make any difference, assuming your motor mount allows for both. What about 40/40 vs 29/29, or an even larger delta? Does gear weight matter? Does tooth engagement matter? Or do you think it’s such a small factor that we aren’t likely to see an impact?
I plan on testing this very subject soon.
