If you mean that your gearing is either too high or too low, more speeds won't change things all that much, but your gears will be spaced closer together
Yeah I know currently I have a freewheel. I've already looked at changing my rear hub but its true that cost-wise, doesn't make much sense when its all added up.
As for overpedalling, I mean like 'spinning out'. Like pedaling at an uncomfortably high RPM during sprints. It not that I don't have enough speed, I perfectly happy with 2x7. Its just that when I'm on my 'hardest' gear ratio, I isn't hard enough. So when I push for sprints, instead of reaching my max effort, I end up pedaling faster than comfortable.
Thanks for the help <3
