This should help you to target the sweet spot for gearing and should keep your temps well below 160F.
I can post a walkthough for calculating gearing (using www.gearchart.com) if you want to know how I got these results.
Hope this helps. |
good answer mate but you might want to take into account that the standard 501x spur is 96t, 511 is 91t unless they changed it already...
