gearing

[mud91]

I just bought a used banshee with mods. If I weigh 245 do I need to go down 1 gear on the front sproket.

Depends on how/where you ride. I weigh 165 and went down a tooth (shorter) in the front to boost the transition between gears. I wouldn't have done this for trails, but the sand demands a little extra. You just gotta ride the sucker to see if it hits not as hard as you want/ or if you have way masive power but have to shift constantly and it wears you out. Either reason is a good one for regearing, but there is no set answer- it's your bike, set it up to work best for YOU! 14-41 is factory, that's a good baseline to see where you're at now.

13/41 should do the trick for you.
