I did some quick math and a 88 Spur / 48 Pinion would be about right. But it is hard to tell what combo would fit correctly - also what brand of Spur gear do I need? Anyone have some experience with this situation? Thanks in advance for any info!
I like the kimbro gears, i'd look at getting something close to 100t for the spur and the appropriate pinion. I am not running VTA but I am around 3.7 with 96t / 49t, you could hit 3.5 with a 52t pinion. I am not sure an 88 / 48 is going to fit to be honest.
