I have a question,I have a Dax Gear Box 3 to 1 my front sprocket is 14 tooth
my rear sprocket is 72 tooth what is my final drive ratio ?? I would like to find out how to figure this out. laff

if im doing it right the secondary reduction is the 14t to the 73t is 5.14:1 so with the 3:1 box its only 8.14:1 witch is still kinda high a 10 t drive would make it closer to 10:1 which would be what you are looking for

You added the 2 ratios, but
You multiply ratios so the correct ratio is 15.43 to 1
