Let's say your bike now has a 15-tooth front and 45-tooth rear, and you want to drop 1 in front and add 2 in the rear. To do the calculation easily, highlight the expression below, up to and including the "=", copy it, and paste it into Microsoft's Windows Calculator.)

((47 / 14) * (15 / 45) � 1) * 100 = 11.9%

Thus, changing to 14/47 will increase torque in a given gear at given revs by about 12%. And, in a given gear at a given speed, revs will increase by the same 12%. If your bike now turns 6000 RPM in 6th gear at 70 mph, the sprocket change will increase revs by 12% to about 6700.
