Default Smaller front sprocket

Managed to get a puncture on my rear tyre after only 600 miles of the bloody thing being replaced, while it was off getting sorted thought i may as well clag on a smaller front sprocket

standard front is a 16 tooth so i fitted a Renthal 15 tooth, supposed to give better acceleration at the sacrifice of a bit top end speed, cant wait to try it out, been pi$$ing down since i fitted it. Roll on the weekend.

cheapest mod ever, only cost 10 notes
