Easier Pedalling ?

[Ernbar]

Did Perry make an 18 tooth hub sprocket for the hub I have which is a 1955 dated 36-13 model. This ratio should make peddling a tad easier I think. Another option would be to go with a 48 tooth or higher front sprocket? Right now it’s a 20 tooth rear and 46 tooth front setup.

For the front, smaller sprockets are easier, for the rear, larger.

Will do thanks!

Not sure if this is the same hub you have but this one has a 20 tooth sprocket. V/r Shawn

Yep looks like the one I have. I think if I reduce from the current 46 tooth front ring to a 44 tooth should make the peddling a bit easier specially on 12+ mile rides.

Yes, 46:20 to 44 with gear ratio 2.3 to 2.2 will be easier by a tad. And depending rear axle position maybe get away without removing a chain link. If 42, for sure easier but prolly need link removal. Hope it works out!

Yes I never saw it till earlier today. The Auto correct/spelling feature in my phone changes things when I write and sometimes don’t double check. I contacted admin earlier to correct it so thanks for the heads up.
