Yep. Higher gears are definitely needed.

Ok, I'm going with the larger 53t crankwheel. Next up: Does anyone know if I can change out the 6-speed freewheel for an Internal Hub? If so, do I need to buy anything else like a new chain or a new wheel to go rim/wheel to go with the Internal Hub?

Thanks!
