Still breakin-er in. Some things I'd change or do differently. What do you guys think... Who leaves the Golden Eagle plastic shroud / fender off? Mine cracked already. Only advantage to leaving on may be riding through mud and water to keep my back dry. But make sure to clean under there as dirt and mud collect around the gearing. I'm thinking about removing it all together.
In hind site I should have put street tires on my Schwinn. I purchased heavy kevlar knobby tires but most of my riding has been on streets. I'm sure the tires are creating tons of drag. Might switch em come spring time.
Wish I purchased the 40cc Tanaka instead of the 33cc......more torque the better around here. Don't think I'll be taking the bike on any off-road "trails".
#11 gear offers more torque but would be worthless on a " trail" IMO. maybe an 8 tooth gear? What is the smallest / lowest gear I can fit on my Tanaka 33cc shaft? The smallest GEBE offers?
A true trail bike would require a different system IMO. Overall I'm having a great time on the bike.........it is what it is.
