pm/jl/franspeed

[ts200]

I want to change my pm28 on my ts1 but don't want too muck around with gear ratios, i was thinking a jl4 or franspeed race as the pm is quite revvy. My gearbox is li150 15/46. Do you think thats the right choice?

That's very low gearing. Does it rev its nuts off at 50mph?

yes

it's got a 400x10 tyre and sits nicely at 60+. Gearing hasn't been a problem or revving its nuts off.

5.2 : 1 (standard gearing) or 5.0 : 1 work well with the JL4 in my experience.

Agree with above^^^^
Franspeed race for ts1 is a good pipe and makes more power than a jl4, and is not prone to cracking as the jl4.

Only in 2nd.

I've only run one TS1, and that ran 4.6, which seemed pretty revvy at the time.

Don't most 185 kits pull a 16t on an Li box? To go to the effort of a TS1, I'd be disappointed to have to run such low gearing.

revvy pipes need low gearing on ts1 or they end up not pulling 4th like a 210 vespa.
