Hi,
I have a Powacycle Salisbury that has a 6 speed Shimano old fashioned threaded rear hub gears as opposed to the newer cassette type gears.
I recently did the C2C and Reivers route which had some steep inclines and god downhill sections, although the bike was great I found I could have done with a greater range of gears higher and lower for the ups and downs, is there a way to give me a lower gear for hill climbing (Hartside- Pennines) and a higher gear for the downhills? Ss I was limited to around 20mph with the electric assist off as my legs would not turn any faster on the flat and downhill and up the steep inclines me and the electric assist needed a lower gear.
