I've heard of "Junior" racing and something about Gear Inch limitations?
What is this racing called "officially"?
I'm looking for a 14T top cog to add to my "arsenal". Maybe IF I could find that kind of racing in my area, I could find a CHEAP source for a used one?
"Junior" refers to an age group. Juniors are, IIRC, 15-18 years old and are limited to the high gear they are permitted to use in races. The official measure is "rollout" which is how far the bike moves with one turn of the cranks but it's usually enforced just by inspecting the gearing.
