13/52...anybody running this?
I was going to try a 14/52 combo on my 18 300, but found out after the fact that a 14 isn't happening. So the option is a 13 since I do not want to buy another rear sprocket and eat that cost too. Looking for any real world input as I am worried that it may be too trials like. Thanks!

Thanks Nate. I agree that a 13/52 is aggressive for sure. Bummed that I have an expensive 14t CSS that will be useless on my 18 300, 52 is a Dirt Tricks and feel compelled to use it since it isn't cheap either. If I had a do-over, 13/50 would be the hot ticket. Probably run a gear high like you said!

The 14 won't fit?

It fits the spleen and got it on by using the dremel on the swingarm slider for tooth clearance... then thought, I better check the chain to clutch slave clearance with a couple spare links and it seems to hit. Kinda annoyed admittedly.

to add to the issue, the dropdown when ordering menu showed 99-current, so I ordered it. Then the invoice shows 99-13... would never have went with this combo if it showed my year not working. I have a feeling 13/52 will be like trials gearing, but also unsure of how much different 13/50(3.85) versus 13/52(4.00) will actually be in "normal" trail usage.
Already bought a 13 CS, but may pick up a 50t... |

When I bought my '11 Rick had it geared 12/48 which is equal to a 13/51. It was way too steep gearing for what I ride and really killed off my top end. I swapped the cs sprocket to a 13t (13/48) and really liked it. I might try a 13/49 at some point. I would only run 13/50 if I was riding some really gnarly technical stuff.
Just for comparison purposes, I also ride a '98 KDX220. I run 13/48 on it and it will climb anything I've tried to here in AZ. On a 250/300cc bike it should be able to match anything my KDX can do and more with the same gearing.

yeah, I hear that. Thinking the same overall. I wanted the 14 to help with slider wear, but so much for that! Will have to pawn these off on the cheap sadly.

I run 13/52 and really like it. It allows you to crawl in technical areas and I almost never need to slip the clutch.

Thanks Zman, since I have the sprocket, I may try it out.
