if you keep all other gears the same, changing from a smaller spur to a larger spur will result in lower top end, but quicker spool up (aka simulated tourqe). Changing your spur gear is more of a fine tuning gearing adjustment. To be honest, I think when I was running, I put 1 spur on and never changed it unless it was worn.
