I don't generally cruise at those speeds in my day to day riding, 55-60 is the best I get, but with my current gearing setup 55mph is ~3.1k RPM on the tach. Stock was ~3700, so it took 600 RPM out of the equation at those speeds.
Extrapolating off of that, this would mean that I'd be around 4k at 70 instead of nearly 4700. -Kurt On Sun, Nov 11, 2012 at 6:50 PM, surfswab <[email protected]> wrote: > What's the effect rpm-wise at cruising speed, say 70-75? > > On Nov 11, 2:10 pm, Kurt Nolte <[email protected]> wrote: > > FWIW, I ride with a 17T front sprocket and a stock rear.
