Guys I ride in Valemont lots and see alot of guys running the 2.5 tracks. I am also running one 2.5 with the Advid 7 tooth 163 / 3pitch. I am running 21/49 gears. Whats everyone else running? Its on a 2010 sled.

you have already geared down by moving to the 7 tooth driver. but with the 7 tooth 20/45 seems to be the favorite or the 3" so i would just drop a tooth on the top gear

I did what you did. Didn't change gears. Works good, another guy I know went to 19-49 and it sucked so he went back to stock.

Do you no if anyone have tryed the 22 gear, I am very curious on trying it.
there would be a little more track speed but I wonder how fast it would loose it in a climb?

running a taller gear wont neccessarly yeild the highest track speed. with the clutches under more load they will not shift out as far as a 21 or 20 tooth. so in a sence the 22 tooth may have the same results or worse than a 20. (less stable track speed)
but every sled is differant and with your situation i would be playing with 19-21 tooth gears especially with the 163 the 22 gear will stress more on all the drivetrain and wont get that 163 spinning as easily. but you just have to try it.

I feel sorry for people who spend thousnds of dollars in upgrades in the offseason then spend half the riding season dialing their sled in... Fortunately, this super simple track swap requires no brain power whatsoever. You could experiment with different gearing and clutching but it works good already. You have a bigger chance of going backwards a step or two with each change. So I would just leave it as is.
