Hi
Gearing for some reason does my head in
Original gearing was 14 front 38 rear, 110/90/18 wheel size
due to not being able to get a 38 rear at a reasonable price and locally(bike is an old grey import) I opted for 36 tooth rear
so now I have 14 front 36 rear and 120/90/18 wheels size.
The issue is the 520 chain was now a tad to long so Ive shortened it the min I can, now its just long enough lol
If I go 13 tooth on the front that should bring me back close to the original ratio and a bit more length to the chain to boot.
Anyone know of any issues like extra strain somewhere in the drive train ?
Thanks
