You are correct. Max out the RPM's.

We have not passed 300 RPM with current setup but believe its easily obtainable. Still addressing efficiency (trying to remain topical), suggestions for a new drivetrain? What options should we look at? I will admit that I'm weak on the math here. Suggestions for a rear cassette set-up? Should we consider a big 55+T ring up front? Triple crankset?
I suppose I'd need to see some pics of it before I could even start making reccos there, but I'm out of my depth when it comes to engineering, anyway, so I probably wouldn't be of help anyway.

I how many gears are you using for a competition wind-up now?
