Hi Andrew. If you are using two cogs with different tooth-counts on
your free/free hub, you need to make sure the chain length can
accommodate both cogs. The larger tooth cog will sit closer to the
bottom bracket along the track ends, and the smaller tooth cog will
sit further away, given the same length of chain. So, just make sure
the chain length allows either cog to fit along the track ends when in
use. Other than that, having the wheel sit closer to the bottom
bracket may help with climbing a bit.

Have fun. I wish I had your project facing me this weekend (instead of
the Quickbeam clean-up I have planned but am now ignoring).
