11-34 is what this bike should have come with too begin with. Buy the tool and do it yourself. Turn the bike upside down.. It's easy just remember to remove the washer under the original freewheel..Ya I found I ran out of steam on a big steep hill and I am peddling like a hamster on a wheel trying to go faster
Do i order a freewheel not a cassete and what brand is ok. for a six speed ?? bicycle shop can do it for 10$ and also thinking of putting the mks fd=7 folding pedals on at same timeYESit is a huge 100% improvement... It's way easier to pedal at slow speeds.. I definetly recommend 11-34....cause 11-28 is only a 50% improvement
Do not buy the 11-28 buy the 11 to 34 as previously mentioned it is a far better Improvement than the 11-28
You will love the improvement. I ride mine 20% of the time without power and its thanx to the better gearing. Way better in tough trails as well.
Cause for the people that aren't on this forum usually don't care or know. Also Shimano derailer on these bikes recommends the freewheel that's supplied. Even though they work absolutely fine with the wider ratios.
Cool I´m on a standard 14/28. My bike will climb extreme steep without need of the 28, but the 11 would be nice if I ever find somewhere flat to ride
Bicycle lore says Shimano dropped the 11T variants because they couldn't get the teeth to last. The quality difference between DNP and Shimano has been debated for many years on bike forums. When I switched to DNP's, I noted that most complaints came from hard core riders wearing them out, and I figured ebike usage would be easy on them.
