Gear Ratios

[idk]

Put a really low profile car tyre on the back and you will effectively lower all the gear ratios. It might work on the dragstrip, but wouldn't be much fun in the twisties.

Original plan, can you determine what they would be? this race slick fits the touring, it will be on a drag bike only frame set up for just track,

Got to go hard or stay home. Got to figure transfer of weight while "staying in control", if possible. Wheelie bars tend to unload rear tire unless has some flexibility.

With a slick, traction will increase considerably, will have to launch higher and harder and if shocks/forks are fully extended, will wheelie higher and longer, unless you slip the clutch.
