Everything about your riding will be better if you gear way down.

Also dont inuslt people that are trying to help you. My posts may seem annoying, but its the only way to acuratly give you advice. Any one that sees a gear ratio on a screen and tells you to change it will not be giving you the full advice you need.
There are two people asking questions in this thread. The advice on gearing is useful to both.
