I'm seriously considering changing to a 14t countershaft sprocket. Most of my riding, by far, is at 20 to 30mph on dirt back roads (or thru a grassy field) with the occasional sprint on a paved road around 55mph and the extremely rare short run down the interstate at about 70mph. I'm willing to tolerate the accelerated wear caused by the smaller sprocket. My concern is changing and finding that it is really undesirable, uncomfortable or unreasonable running over 50mph on paved roads. I don't want to have to change sprockets depending on where I will be riding that day. I'm lazy. Is the 14t sprocket a reasonable general purpose sprocket for the riding I do? Thanks.
