Therefore not much need for faster gears, you'll never use them... Unless being foolish on a downhill.
I estimate the slow gears you have will be necessary.
Be sure brakes are in excellent shape, may consider a dual circuit master cylinder but otherwise original should be just fine. Try to keep total weight under 16k | | |
