7 spd wide to close ratio 7 w/o the huge low gear?
has any one heard of or seen a 7 spd. with out that huge jump to low gear? I would like to even out my gearing, I never use the ultra-low cog. I think it would be cool if it was a closer ratio.

Or adjust one of the set screws so it won't shift into the lower/higher gear, then you won't be jacking up your cassette.
