The 42/16 gears are taller than the 49/17. Check the graph out in this link here (hit the "show more" when you get there): 49ccscoot.proboards.com/post/195681/thread
I only have the 47mm, and there is no way I'd go taller than 49/17 without other mods. I'd probably never hit top speed if I did have 42/16 unless there was a good wind behind me, if it was in my face forget about it- I'd be slower than molasses and probably lower reachable top speed than with stock gears (no joke).
I've actually thought about going to the shorter gear set 50/16 and bumping my roller a tad heavier, because of windy days. Funny thing is no one seems to carry the 50/16 gears anymore here in the USA and I'm very surprised about that.
Like I said though, I only have 47mm bbk and no other major mods.
