Subject:Re: New Weddle 5 Speed Conversion

If you went with a lower number for fifth, say the 0.70, would that
give you better mileage in that top gear? What are the results you'd
expect to see? Having a 5-speed with the 5th gear being the same as
the 4th doesn't seem to make too much sense to me, but that probably
has more to do with my not understanding transmission gearing at all.

Thanks,
Marc Perdue
