Re: Upgrades to entry level MTBs and Comfort Bikes
Quote:
now modifyed and ready for its new owner: Refit the original wheels, tyres and 14-28 5 speed freewheel. Replace the 28/38/48 tooth chanrings with a single 40 tooth chainring and remove Front Derailleur and Shifter. Replace the Falcon Long Cage Derailleur with a Falcon Short Cage. Total cost of new Chainring and RD, $20.  This makes the bike much easier to ride for an inexperienced girl, one less lever to confuse.
