Mine had a 22T cog on the rear when I got it, & I'm pretty happy with it.

thanks, ever so much, Julius in N.W. Ohio
I posted instructions on how to replace the brake shoes a bit ago.
Rod brake pad/shoe remove/install
Kool Stop makes replacement shoes, but I had to order through Amazon because my favorite local bike shop (LBS) wasn't able to order them.
