This bike will not see the parkway or highway and even if it does the speed limits around here are 45. It is strictly a local road commuter bike and I want passing and light to light power not top speed. I may, depending on how the bike reacts, also go up one or two on the rear.

So if anyone has played with gear reductions at all i would appreciate feedback.
Welcome......I would assume the 14T would give you a fair bit more bottom end.I went to a 16T for lower RPM while cruising & found quite a difference.I would think that a 14T would make 1st all but useless..
