Think I could benefit from a few extra gears. Feels like there’s still some drag but it is pulling me around. Doesn’t coast much?. Maybe a break in period for me and the bike.
But I am really happy to be out there again. Feels a little like being a kid again. Thank you for pointing me in the right directions. Sure I will have more newbie questions.
The gearing might be too tall for your current ability. You could swap the chainring for a smaller one. I ride geared bikes, but if I were looking at a 1 speed, I would probably go with something like a 34 or 36 tooth chainring. Better on the knees.
