Upgrading the tokyo
Well it may sound like a lost cause but consider this..
The 11-28T upgrade should cost me around $35 for each bike (I'm upgrading two of them) and I have a 52 tooth chainwheel for free and I bet I can scrounge up another one from somewhere.
That gives me 75.6 gear inches..Ok still low geared but I still get two tiny folding bikes for less than 400 bucks.
Its really still a sweet deal..and we want it for very ocasional use as these are not our daily commuters by a long shot..just Sunday afternoon rides from whatever airport we land at to town and back.
So in our particular case I think they are worth upgrading..and if bigger chainwheels show up at some point I'll just grind off the welds and weld bigger ones on.
Thats my story
