I have a hybrid bike that I only ride on the road. Listed Below are the specs that I think are pertinent to my question?
Shifters: SRAM 3x7 DualDrive
Crankset: TruVativ Forged arm, 33T w/ chainguard
Freewheel: SRAM 12-32T 7-speed cassette
Rear Derailleur: SRAM DualDrive 7spd
Rear Hub: SRAM 3-speed internal hub w/ freehub cassette
My question is that I seem to stay in postion 3 on my SRAM shifter and move between 4, 5, 6, and 7 on my rear cassette. I think that I am too close to one end of the range. I could actually handle something higher than the 3 X 7.
Can I change my single chain ring which is 33T to some other size and which direction do I go? Also, I would like to change to longer cranks? Does this have any effect on the gearing?
I hope that the questions make sense?
Thanks!!!!!
