It gets worse. Today I've been going around on 17/35 sprockets. Still way too low geared but could cruise at 40 without nailing the engine too much. Anything more than 40 and the engine would be screaming.
I am determined to stick with my 16" wheels. I quite like scuttling around at door handle level. In my experience really low bikes feel much more stable in dodgy conditions.
I have now ordered an 18t front sprocket, which there may not be room for on the engine but there's no way to know until it comes, and I've also ordered a 31t rear sprocket which is the smallest 428 one the JT catalog has listed that will fit my cush drive.
Rear sprockets of less than 31t are available but not ones that fit my cush drive so if I want to keep using the wheels I've already got then it's going to be adapter time which shouldn't be a problem to make if I have to using strimmer line, Super Glue, and walnuts mixed with the jellified foetus of an unborn Irishman's bairn at full moon, shot of scotch please, no water.

We'll see - if someone could see to getting me one of these and somewhere to store it, it'd make that a lot more achievable!

(Unfortunately with plans for the week after, emptying and reloading the van caused a lot of stress and lost work etc ... it did look like there'd be a week gap next year, but they got the dates wrong and there's not.) |
