For just street riding you'll gain a little acceleration going up like 3 in the back. you'll probably have to add 2 links, and slide your wheel in a little.
I did bmx for the longest and would change to 25/9 tooth talk about chain bending lol but a lot less power going to it... I just want a little more acceleration and still keep my highway driving ability.
