Similar reasons are why people do to the back (+3 = ~1 front) when re-gearing. The 13T is less prone to wearing itself out, and the chain too. On the bright side it's a piece o cake to put on and/or switch back and forth.i run a 12 front, stock rear........geared just right. i can ride tech. stuff in 1st, and still climb hills in 2nd and 3rd.........i dont think i would go smaller on the front than a 12......im sure the chain will rub the case.

Do you think I could squeeze a 52 with the stock chain guide?
If not, does anyone have any input on a aftermarket chain guide that would support a 52t rear?
