better acceleration at the cost of a lower top speed. in reality, who really needs a 160mph top speed for riding around on the streets....

sprockets and chains are designed to wear as a set, if you put new sprockets on an old chain it will substantually decrease the life of the sprockets, and vice versa. once you try to get the nut off the crank shaft to swap out the front, you will know why replacing them all the time is not something thats alot of fun
