In in New England so mostly nice loamy tracks up here. I heard max say they hated it with a tooth added but I also heard from an experienced racer and freind people went to a 50 tooth and loved it.

I have a 14/52 for tracks that need lower gearing, it needs a longer chain, and the wheel is far back.
Because of the primary gear change on the 16 (1 tooth less) the 14/52 is just barely taller than the 13/50 on the 2013-2015 450's
