Post by: bof on September 22, 2009, 07:28 PM: 41/17 is a hard gearing . you need an 18t on the back to match the 41 . that will make things easier for you :daumenhoch:

get the rear wheel as far forward in the dropouts as you can (you may need a half link or full half link chain to get it just so)

set your bars at the same height as your 20"

Have fun :daumenhoch:

:) DINGO :)
