​​​​​If the gearing of the SE was at a nice cadence for you then you would want to replicate the setup from that. You would want to know the front chainring tooth count, the rear sprocket tooth count and, to a lesser degree, the crank arm length. Match those up and you should be good to go.

It begs the question though, why not just stick with the SE?
