Moose Racing sprocket from Dennis Kirk:Where did you purchase the 14t Renthal?
https://www.denniskirk.com/moose/sprocket.p844412.prd/844414.sku
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

thanks - I've bought a ton of stuff there, in my top three online retailers.
Does anyone run a 14 / 45 ? I almost never have my bike over 100 KMH and spend most time in town or on trails.
Me too.I'm running 15/45 ....works great. The bike runs roughly 4100rpm @ 105kmh .

why 15/45 versus 14/42, easier on chain?
For me...it's because the bike came with a 15, and I already had a 45. But...all else equal, larger sprockets and chains reduce the speed of wear.why 15/45 versus 14/42, easier on chain?
The only time accelerated chain wear is really a concern, is when you get down to the 12 and 13 tooth countershafts.why 15/45 versus 14/42, easier on chain?

What is sixth gear like now? I don't think I want to go all the way down a tooth in the front - that's about 3? teeth in the rear? I really like being able to just lope along at 75 in 6th. Having said that, if I'm only going 70 sixth is actually a little too tall. I'm thinking of just dropping a tooth on the rear to start.
I, for one think the TE 630 has the sweetest wide ratio 6 speed tranny on the planet! You can lope along the trail in 1st and cruise comfortable on the highway at pretty much any sane speed you want. Go down a tooth on front or up two or three on back or both to suit your driving habits and you are good to go! Perfect!
I went with a 43 because Ironman makes a 41 or 43 (and other bigger ones), but not a 42. I dropped the countershaft to a 14 for the desired effect....the 43 was chosen because I didn't want to really gear it down, I would have likely selected a 42 Ironman if one was available.Stock sprocket is a 42 and you went to a 43? Everyone says the stock rear is aluminum? Hmmm...if I was changing would probly do 44 or 45 then. 43 is probly good though.
