M8 Gearing

[offroadmatt]

I know, I know. There are lots of threads on M8 Gearing. But! I don't want to read and read and read about all that non-sense in each of those threads. I want a thread that has just gearing info. So please post your non stock gearing info. All i want to know is what gearing you have, what elevation you ride, and what track speeds you are getting. Don't make it complicated.

Here's an Excel spreadsheet I've been working on to help pick out the right gears for me boondocking through and over trees.

you want to gear it so in most riding conditions where you need the power the clutches are in a 1:1 ratio which will apply an equal amount of the belt on each clutch, if you go to far it could start to slip under a heavy load.
