Well, planning on it anyway..

Looking at getting a new front sprocket, so I can drop 1 tooth, just for that bit extra acceleration and fun and what not.

Now' I've not 'long' replaced the entire drive train, was about 3K miles ago. Will I be OK to carry on using the current chain and rear sprocket? Or would I be best to replace the entire thing again, and maybe keep the current one as spare or what? I know they always say replace as an entire set, but as this more of a modification rather than maintenance, I'm hoping I'll be OK?
 
Went for -2 in the end, just for the extra bit of craziness lol, should be OK with my current chain according to the guys in the shop. Will see how I find it, if I find it too much, and feel that I've lost too much top end, I may drop down to a -1, and possibly look at getting a +2 at the rear as well..

Just had to fork out and get loads of tools too, a nice big Torque Wrench, 32mm and 36mm sockets, and a paddock stand :D. Pay day is awesome.
