hi all , this is my last question on this subject.
what are the characteristics of A putting 10 inchers on a 3 speed 8 inch vbb
b putting 10 inchers on a 4 speed 8 inch vbb .
i have a pinasco kit on the bike and at the moment it wheelspins up the road like a wild thing!!
thanks for any input. dave

a, 10" on a 3 speed 8" gearing = slight increase in top speed ,but will lose some acceleration ,due to the increase in gearing .probably exaggerating the jumps between gear ratios .
b, 10" 0n 4 speed 8" gearing , same increase in top end but as ratios are closer no lose of acceleration an with a kit on might give it more acceleration .
you'd be best to swap to 10" gearing aswell as 10" rims ,or it will be a wheelie machine probably , H
