Since we are talking ratio's and gears and stuff. What is the general opinion on gearing sizes. For example is it better to run the biggest or smallest spur gear possible then choose the pinion that gives the desired ratio. Or does it matter?
An example would be is there a differnce in running a 102/51 vs. 98/49 vs. 94/47? The ratio of these gears is all the same but will they feel or function differently? As in speed, temp, punch, etc.
