How many miles do you have on the Denali now?.... and who did you buy your derailer from (are they decent? would you buy from them again?)

About 1 1/2 mile down the road I noticed that I was leaving them behind. So I slowed down to let them catch up. We road for about 10 miles doing the lead shuffle. Then I told them I did not want to be late for work and sped away. Nice guys once they got used to the ideal that I could out ride them on a Wal-Mart bike.
Goes to show ya it's not the bike it's the engine that counts.

Mate, I'm not one to question the man that would ride away from me without trying too hard
but don't you mean to the center of the pedal axle when it's furthest away from the seat? i.e. when your foot is at the bottom of the pedal stroke? otherwise how do you allow for the crank arm?.... or did I miss something?(I probably did
