16 front 45 rear sprockets

[jermo47_imp]

I have the 16 on the front and still using the 43 on the back. Feels about 6% difference from the 17 on the front, which is about what it should be. I also installed my more upright bars (from the clipons i had on there) and have been enjoying the more upright seating position, but i have noticed that the front end does want to come up a bit more with the 16/43 setup, as expected. Nothing crazy or hard to deal with.

This is the 16 i used: JT Sprockets JTF339.16 16T Steel Front Sprocket

I had the 17 on there for about 15,000 miles and it looked essentially brand new when i took it off. Chain and rear sprockets looking good still at mid 17xxx miles. Overall Id say the 16/43 setup is just fine for the 2014s.
