Re: Rear wheel swap

Interesting project. The difference in overall gearing may not make much of a difference but if it does a new rear sprocket with more teeth will work well. 2 or 3 at most would be a fair guess. You may have a fun time finding spokes to fit the new wheel and old rear hub but have at er and see what happens.
The appearance of the bike now is very eye catching and I like it. A white wall tire on the back would make it more so. Keep us up to date as you progress.
