The gearing is wrong for the projected street use.....

and you would do this why? ok, i have fitted 1.25" fatboys to the funk for road use because i don't trust it's 19yr old ali ass off road, but...... i am running 11-28 x 24,36,48 & have an unused pace 50 ring in the shed. might even go to the lengths of a retro (ie cheap) road chainset for 52/3 tooth rings...

oh dear...... i need to lie down......
