Me too. I got the last one Jim had. It helped a lot; but the biggest improvement I made to the gearing was when I changed to a 15T smallest sprocket. Instead of an unusable 104" gear, it came down to around 97, and really transformed the top end for me. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
