I haven't posted enough to share a URL, should be easy enough to find a link.
I own a Stepdragon a808, I like it a lot but I have a couple of questions.
1: It has 24 gears but I almost always ride the hardest gears and even then I feel I could pedal quite a bit harder, would it be possible to fix the bike with gears more commonly used on a racing bike? I would be prepared to have less gears and rings on the bike.
2: The wheel and tire sizes aren't that common in Europe, how easy would it be for me to get a new set of fitting tires and inner tubes in Europe?
Thanks in advance

I took a look at the specifications on this one and noticed that the chainring setup is "Chainwheel: 48T/38T/28T*17", so this bike will not be a speed demon. It looks to have a standard square-tapered bottom bracket, so there are lots of options for larger chainrings. If you are going for speed, look for a setup with a 56T largest ring and go from there.
