Somewhere aroudn 110 - 112 the bikes aerodynamics stop it from getting anymore speed. With 15/45 and 15/42 both, I've run 111. No reason to go any smaller than a 45 rear. I would imagine 93 - 95 is attainable with a 15/47 combo.

What would a 16t front do?I mean with a 47 rear just wanting to swap out the countershaft for right now seems easier.

A 16? Probably eat the case area around the countershaft

:idea:  Might not be a bad idea throwing a balance job on those nobs before breaking the sound barrior..  Things happen FAST when going FAST!
