If you come up with a useful replacement, let us know. I'd like longer top gearing for higher speeds. I find that high speed pedaling reduces my control of the bike.
can you confirm this is the correct size...am going to order one for a sport and one for a flow
look up how to bed disk brakes on a car....i do it all the time when i change pads...gonna do something similar when i get the bike
I have the question into Espin. So far nobody on the board has suggested another freewheel. I would only change if it would mean changing freewheel only and not affect controller etc. You would think there is another freewheel that you could plug in and offer you better restistance in 8th/5PAS...
Either fewer teeth on the smallest gear at the rear or more teeth on the gear at the pedals should do the trick w/o affecting the controller.
so 11-34?
Going to 11 teeth would produce about an 8% reduction in top gear pedaling rate, which should be a noticeable but not huge difference. I don't know if there are 8-speed gear setups with fewer than 11 teeth, so any more pedaling speed reduction may require a larger crank gear.
The largest front gear I've found is 52 teeth. That would give a 15.5% pedaling speed reduction, but I do not know if it'd fit the Espin Sport. Look here: https://www.amazon.com/Crankset-Aluminum-Chaingard-Folding-Bicycles/dp/B00L3K564G
Yeah... I want to get a 2nd bike and would like to try out a different brand like R1U or Aventon but am afraid they may not be as good.
I have an Espin sport and a ride1up 700 series. I like both but personally prefer the 700
Are you no longer looking for a much more lightweight bike?

That will take care of itself as you ride and shift.
FWIW I have the 2021 Sport that comes with a color LCD. Honestly I would have preferred a single color display with better contrast. The color display washes out badly even on overcast days.
