For your build the gear reduction would Allow you to turn those 32" plus tires.Someone tell me... If the portals have "a 30% gear reduction", what difference do I experience?
30% higher rpm?
30% more torque?
30% error in odometer?
Assuming a 30% larger tire would put the machine back at stock parameters when using a 30% gear reducer. Way I figure it, stock tire on 700 is 25", so-
30% of 25" is 7.5"
7.5"+ 25"= 32.5"
So a 30% larger tire for the 700 is 32.5". There you go @Gator, with the arms and portals you'll have room and sufficient power to turn 32.5" tires, and I know that's what you been wanting all along!
I'll be patiently waiting for pictures
