No noticeable mpg difference and or the other blar blar that comes with changing ratios. I thoroughly recommend it.

A 47 will require a longer chain. A smaller front will be slightly too low gearing for road use. But each to his own...

sprocket calculators will not give you the idea of how the bike will ride after a change.........what's on paper will definitely not match the seat-of-the-pants feel.
