I went to a local bike shop yesterday and inquired about re-gearing my bike. The bike service guy dug around in his bins and located a Shimano 11-28 6 speed cog set. He spun my old Regina off and threw the Shimano on in a matter of seconds.
Where before on my 42:24 @ 50 RPM i was going 6.76 MPH I will now be traveling 5.8 MPH with the 42:28.
When in the 52:14 @ 90 RPM I was going 25.8 MPH I will now be going 32.9 MPH with the 52:11
I went ahead and instructed him to rebuild the rear hub as well so I will get the bike back this afternoon. The grand total will be $60.
I can't wait to try it out.
I did keep my old Regina cog set incase I know I will be biking on flat roads. It only takes a second to swap out.
