My oldest daughter rides effortlessly in the mud, and until now I’ve struggled to keep up with her.
but recently, I’ve started changing the gearing on the bike to suit the conditions of the day. This can be quite a hassle to do, but on the Suzuki it’s only a 10 minute job.
All I need to do is change the front sprocket, which is only held on by a circlip.
I normally run a 14 / 44 tooth sprocket combination which is OK on the road, but the gearings too high in the mud
A 13t sprocket on the front lowers the gearing and makes a world of difference.
We had a really good day, and even had some good obstacles to negotiate, where we needed to help each other out and get the bikes through it.
P.S. Cleaning the bike afterwards was a mission!
