I had a 17/46 combination with nearly the same set up, TS1, JL Road, LI150 gearbox. It was way to long, the first 3 gears were unbeliveable, it would do more than 65 mph in third, but in fourth you must be very lucky to not run in headwinds or into some hills. Even on a straight road with no wind it...

Re: best winter tire ??

Re: BGM Stator Failures
