Hey Guys,
I just installed a bent springer fork to my Electra Rat Rod and it completely changed the dynamics of looks and ride. After doing so I quickly found that I needed to change the crank to a 6" rather than the 7" stock because of sparking pedals. :shock: I know find that it's not as easy to pedal as it requires more work than before. My gearing currently is a 44t sprocket and a 22t cog. I contemplated going to a 23t cog or forking out the dough for a 3 speed hub setup (if it would fit between the drop outs). I'm hoping that with some of your experiences you might be able to offer some helpful advise. Thanks.
