SHARKBITEATTACK
10 W
So I really like pedal assist and the ratios are almost perfect with my current setup. 36v, 9C 2808r with a 9 speed freewheel (11T smallest sprocket and 44T largest chainring) on a 26 x 2.14 tire. However, in the near future I will be doubling the voltage to 72v and will be slipping on a larger tire (Cyclops Pro 25 x 2.4). From what I've read on the forums this setup should give me a 40mph top speed. I only plan on making short sprints at full speed and I think I'll spend the majority of time cruising between 25 - 30mph. Anyone have experience or advice on what size chainring I could use so that I can pedal assist at these speeds at a reasonable rate?
I've never really payed attention to my cadence but I did play around with an online gearing/speed calculator and it looks like I generally cruise at 70 rpm. Although I'm not certain. Based on the calculator it seems that a 60T would suite my needs but I'd still like to hear from others.
Also wondering if any other problems would arise, derailer issues, too wide of a jump from sprockets etc.
