I know the 25.5's have a different rotor size at 12.3, but would you recommend me trying out the HT option in my setup?
Have you tried smaller spurs like a 96? Try this gearing 96/48 which on my car gives me a FDR OF 3.80. In my experience, anything taller than 96 doesn’t work very well. As always don’t run more than 2 or 3 mins without checking temps.
-R1wurks has a 12.3HT submitted to ROAR for approval but as of yet hasn’t been approved by ROAR.
Post how gearing changed helped or not
