Hey Eric, I’ll counterpoint and say it is worth experimenting with gearing, but also point out that you can, with wide range flip-flop hub freewheel/cogs and two same or even wider ranged chain rings (so long as the total tooth difference is 6 or so, I know it is technically 8, but that can make 38s snug). Then you only run the big cog with the little chain ring and the little cog with the big chain ring. Two wide ranging gears. Simplicity of the original bike. Best of all possible worlds. Grin.
