Is the 36 tooth sprocket really worth it?

[S.PadreSurfer]

If you happen to live in a windy area it's advisable not to overdo the gearing.At over 20mph the aerodynamic drag tops the rolling drag by far,with a 10mph headwind for instance you could lose more than 10miles on the top,since you're likely to run out of torque.

+1 on that.

Im not so sure about your numbers! From what you are saying, take for example the other day here we had steady 35+ Mph winds with 60 Mph gusts, I wound not be moving forward at all, but in fact using your logic, I would be moving in reverse, tire smoking trying to go forward......you have no sound logic....please provide some proven proof on your point.

I have 26 inch tires and the 66cc chinese 2 stroke with a 44 tooth rear sprocket and at 20 mph it sounds like it is reving pretty high yet at anything lower then 15mph it lugs.Am I being peranoid and probly should just push it faster or what? Everyone says theres does like 30mph and i want mine to but i am worried i am gunna blow it. Oh i cant figure out that speed calculator but oh well i have a speedo anyway.
