the gearing within the IGH mechanism itself cannot be adjusted, but the gear ratio between your chain ring and cog can be adjusted to give you a gear range that works for you.

if the low on your IGH bike is too low to be useful for you, just put a bigger chain ring on your crank. that will raise the gear range of your IGH. conversely, if your high is too high, get a smaller chain ring to lower the gear range.
