I also am working on a R20 project and the rear gear has 22 teeth with the front chain gear stamped 44T. Just wondering if that gearing is good for overall use..
That's 40 gear inches ((chainwheel/freewheel) x wheel diameter in inches) - which is getting into a climbing gear. That's getting awfully close to my Twenty in first gear (36.3).
