I had an 05 Speed and went to the 700. On the Speed I was running
55/42/30 Rotor Cranks. I changed the Rotors over to the 700 and I had to change
them to 53/39/26 to get close to the ratio I was running on the Speed. Not
exactly the same but real close.

Subject: [TeamCatrike] Catrike 700 Gearing
I have a 2007 Catrike 700 and my uncle has a
2006 Catrike Speed. We
went for a ride last week, and noticed going up a hill, that I was
working much harder up the hill than he was with his speed, and I was
in 1st gear all the way around, while he wasn't. . . However, going
down hills, I didn't max out and had several more gears that I could
utilize, while he was maxing out. We are looking for gearing
somewhere in the middle, so that I am able to 'spin' a bit more up the
hills, and he can really crank into the peddles down the hills.
Has anyone changed their gearing, and if so what would you recommend?
