WOW! My sled is overreving by 1000 rpms! Little slower on top than I expected, think I'll go up to 19 top gear. Anybody have an extra? I'll trade or sell the 18 once I find a 19 tooth.

I will take that 18 when it is for sale!

I used to run 18-41 in MN and out west and loved it! Yes, I am done at around 90 on the speedo but from 5-75 WOOHOO! Alas I sold the gearing and went back to 20-39 for better trail friendly characteristics but it is boring now!

I really miss my sled trying to rip out from under me so I am going back to the 18-41.

Keep in mind with the taller gearing you need to add more initial helix to compensate for the increased mechanical advantage the gearing provides.
