so u have a very cool bike .. but cant go any faster than 10 miles per hour ...( well a little but not much )
Don't let pictures mess with the facts .. the TSR-2 belt drive above runs a 67/25 with a g/i of 50 to 68 .. so with a mild cadence of 90 rpm you have a top speed of just over 18 mph .. not bad, spin 100 and you are over 20 mph .. on the shelf I have an 80t and a 100t .. my personal everyday runabout TSR-5 runs an 80/25 for a 37/93 gi ... and so it goes ..
