Hello folks, newbie bent owner. I have a Sun EZ Speedster CX, interested in changing the gear (lower) for better climbing (clydesdale in the hills), wondering if anybody has any experience/advice on what works/fails.
It currently has 30-42-52 on the chainrings, and 32-11 on the 8-speed cassette.
So my lowest gear-inches is 24", based on f/r*26
I've got webpage about the bike here (http://www.thirdwave-websites.com/bike/sun-ez-speedster.cfm) .
On my commuter and road bike, I've swapped chainrings/cassettes for better climbing.
I'd like to do the same with my Speedster.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.
