Thanks for accepting me into this forum. Ive just bought my first emtb - a Giant Reign E+ 1 after riding analogue since the early 90s. My wife bought a Merida E160 500 early last year since when I haven’t been able to keep up with her. I can now!

Hi experts, I feel that my Fathom could use another higher gear and would appreciate some advice / feedback re the pros and cons of increasing the pedal sprocket size to reduce the speed of my pedalling. I understand that this is very doable but would love to get advice from the forum, especially implications on the motor wear and tear.

Thanks

Hello again, I took my bike to the shop to arrange for a larger chain ring but was advised that the 36 tooth ring I have is the largest option available for the Yamaha motor. Someone suggested using a spider instead of the solid chain ring supplied by OEM however I have also seen comments regarding offset issues. I would appreciate feedback from the members wh know about such stuff.
Thanks
Mike
