Good news

Rode the bike on the highway this weekend and top out at 30mph, that was as fast as it could go without over revving. For some reason the back sprocket is huge, 71 teeth. Has lots of power but no speed. Not sure what model the back tire is from certainly not a CM 400A so I have been stuck finding a new sprocket for the thing until today. The sun was peering through the garage as the bike and I sat there wondering what to do and some writing on the sprocket all of a sudden caught my eye. It was the company and the sprocket size. I will call the company "Sprocket Specialists" tomorrow and try and get about a 52 teeth sprocket. Hopefully I can gain enough speed and still keep some power to use the back roads to get into town.
