I'm new to track racing and I'm slowly adding to my gear collection. I currently have 48 & 49 rings and 15 & 16 cogs, but I want to add a new gear ratio. Either a 50 ring or a 47x14 to get me into the 90+ range.
I primarily would be racing mass start events like Scratch, Points, etc, but also events like Sprint, Keirin, and chariot.
I'm just wondering what other experienced trackies out there would recommend between a 47x14 and a 50x15 (if you could only purchase one combo) and why.
The other issue that comes up is going to the smaller rings gives me too much chain slack to deal with.
Advice please
