Thanks so much!
I assume you end up cruising in 6th at 55mph now?
I would if I drove 55…
Just kidding. I don’t know. Maybe. Tbh I am now pretty used to the vibes of the bike and it doesn’t really bother me at any speed. But like I said, I don’t take the 701 on any big trips or anything.
Do the gearing, you will like it. You could do what I did and try the feel of changing one sprocket tooth and see how it goes. But if I could do it again I would just go 16/44 (or maybe even 16/45). It makes the bike a lot more fun around town and in the hills.
