    Hi everyone, I wanted to go up 2 teeth in the rear on my 6th gen but I was wondering if it would work with the stock chain? So a 45T rear and a 16T front?

    Thanks!

    I run the stock chain on my '99 with a 45 tooth rear and stock front, so you should be fine.

    It will fit, but it will affect the geometry.
    You rear wheel will move forward shortening wheel base, and the eccentric will rotate clockwise so your rear ride height will drop.
    Some people don’t notice any difference, I did and didn’t like it.
    Just my observation.
