Just found this group. Dont know if you solved your problem but yes I
have the megarange 11-34 and it helped. At least one is on ebay today.
I also changed my tires for a steeper gearing. I am running Kenda
Flame 3X20 on the rear and it has made a difference in speed a
comfort; With three herniated discs it has made the bumps much less
noticeable. Also gained speed and control.
