i have a questions in relation to gearing, hoping one of you guys could help?
my bike has a flip-flop bub with a 16T freewheel on one side and a 16t fixed gear on the other..
would it be possible for me to fit another freewheel on the other side to replace the fixed gear with let say.. a 13-14 tooth freewheel?
my current gearing is 16/44t. this is too easy for the motor, it easily drags me up any hill and it also hits maximum RPM when attempting top speeds, the motor will even turn off at top speed due to the lack of pressure i'm applying to the peddles
my idea.. 16th freewheel for hill's and rides to unknown destinations
13-14 tooth freewheel on the otherside of the hub for flat ground and top speed attempts ;)
does anybody know which size freewheel i need to replace the fixed gear in terms of the thread size? and can anybody recommend a 13-14t freewheel that will fit?
Cheers!
