Its taken me a long time to get these gears in but I am glad to say that they are finally in and I have to say, this is without going off road with them yet is that are very very good. The difference between the standard and the 63% is amazing. I am going to try to get some off roading in the next couple of weeks and will say more about them then. Just a few figures until then.
