Is 415 Chain Setup Better?
It's about time for me to change my sprockets and I was wondering the reasons why racers use 415? Is there any reason why someone who only rides street would want to do this?

The reason for the 415 chain setup is less rotational mass, less frictions = faster acceleration. Weight savings is roughly 3lbs compared to stock and the chain is non o-ring. It'll stretch a good bit and for a street bike you would probably have to keep it lubed after each ride to make it last.
