Just wondering if anyone has tried running 19-49 gearing bought a 13 m800 to use as a spare sled on trips and it still has the factory 21-49 gears in it. Thought I'd put the 19 tooth gear out of my 14 since I'm running a belt drive on it but I'm not sure if I like the sharper bend in the chain.

I think you are fine. The new ones are 19/50 so even more bend.

19/50 will have less bend due to the larger bottom gear.

I have a 50 tooth but it's the aluminum one and don't really like that idea. I'm just trying to get by a little cheaper since it's just a spare sled
