[QUOTE="John K, post: 106677, member: 17424"] sbasset: I figured as much, from what you were saying I thought you had to be geared way higher than 14:48. Anything I can't get around in first gearwith 14:48 isn't really what I consider fun. Being 6'2" and 110kgs helps me throw the big ol' gal around though! Quite honestly after 14:40 I'd give 14:48 a go. For all round riding I really feel it can't be beat. You will have to lengthen the chain, that is if it's still in decent condition. If the chain or countershaft sprocket are showing any serious wear I'd change both sprockets and the chain, and cut it, or have it cut or "split" to suit. If the chain and countersprocket are ok you could buy a couple of joining links and a spare piece of chain ...... BUT and this is VITAL, make sure you use something of a compatible type! Preferably the same brand and size/model, both in the chain and joiners. Otherwise you may end up with a broken chain and they can result in serious damage to your bike and or person! I know Ballards here in Australia sell a "lengthening kit" or something of the like, I'm sure a manufacturer over your way could supply or supply and fit the same thing. The last option I can think of is keeping two sets of chains and sprockets, the 14:48 for trails and the 14:40 for a "hiway set". If unsure get somebody to look at it, but be wary of some money hungry bike shops! [/QUOTE]
