Do it all the time.....lol the mountain I live on is really curvy and really steep....I've rode all kinds of deathtraps of off it...skateboards,bikes,big wheels,rollerblades,scooters,sleds.....I hit 50 in a pedalcar....with plastic ass wheels!!!!that was the sketchyist...it's two narrow lanes with two rh turns and one lh turn...all three blind turns...going off of it...and there's a little bit of guardrail on the left ,where it drops straight over the mountain thru trees for at least 50 ft at the top and gradually decreases....imagine trying to steer a power wheels after u hit 40 mph.....but I did it cuz the chic's dig itand I didn't end up in a wheelchair thank God...I pulled it offand yes if there was a hot chick watching I'd do it again...right now!!!!lol

Yes, and Jerry is the only member.

We had a few shifters.

I always loved living in the mountains myself it didn't matter if it was in Big Bear during the early 70s or the White Mountains of New Hampshire, or where I live now surrounded by the Sacramento Mountains in New Mexico.

Always Reminds me of a famous song from way back when that exemplifies where your at Bill...lol.

If your drive sprocket is a 10-tooth, do you have enough room to put an 11 tooth on?

 

[Bent rim]

No offense to you....but....I HATE THAT SONG....ALWAYS HAVE.....it is home ...and I love the mountains, (if I'm not walking up them), to me but that song doesn't do anything for me except make me wish he would've never wrote that stupid song!!!!!...But I appreciate the poking bro. Gotta laugh somehow...

Yes

Yes

You might be able to increase speed with a larger drive sprocket. It might reduce stress from the driven sprocket.

Merely increasing the drive ratio size won't increase the speed if you don't have the performance enhancements to increase the engine's horsepower.

Building shifter bikes won't increase the top speed but will increase the acceleration rate and average speed.
