Re: Gears... 15/41 Stock v.s. 18/38 mod
that may be the answer, if the 16T makes it a little better in 4th then I'd be OK running 60 in 4th without having it whine at me too much... I ran it in 4th going home last night and it seemed OK at 60 but just a little more whine than what I care for, but I didn't get to run it at 60 for very long because we had 25+ mph winds last night that I was going head on into headed home and I don't have proper riding gear yet so my coat was acting like a big sail and was getting thrown all over the place in the wind...
it will probably be a while before I modify it since this is the newest bike I've ever had and it is in almost mint condition, the previous owner took excellent care of it, so I won't mod anything on it until I get some ride time on it first =) Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Gears... 15/41 Stock v.s. 18/38 mod
I'm actually finding that as I ride the bike more it seems to be giving me a little better top speed... not sure what the break in period should be? bike had 9730 on it when I bought it, I'm up to 9980 now and the bike is starting to come around to the way I want it to run... we'll see how she runs after I put some more miles on her and see if I really need to change sprockets or not...

If you want to crest the hills faster the surest method is to loose weight.

Re: Gears... 15/41 Stock v.s. 18/38 mod
working on that =) I had dropped about 30 lbs 2 years back but I've slowly put it all back on over the past 2 years so I'm right back where I was... I have my own home gym now so now I have no excuse (other than that I'm lazy and tired between work and school so I get done with work/school and want to be lazy).
