  3. lowering your gear ratios overall will raise the revs! you want a higher gear on the front sprocket ie 12 up to 13 teeth or lower on the rear ie 33 to 32 teeth that will lower the engine revs for cruising A taller front sprocket is better as the chain will have a longer circumference to go round and have an easier life. 1 tooth on the front also = about 3 teeth on the rear.
