I have recently purchased a secondhand 806 Torque. After replacing the saddle with one more suited to my bottom I am very pleased with it.
However, I find the gearing a bit lower than I would like. It is a 2017 8 speed model. I haven't looked closely to see if it is a freewheel or a cassette but it doesn't look as though it would be possible to fit a replacement with the smallest sprocket having fewer teeth.
The alternative would be to fit a larger chain ring. Again, I haven't looked closely yet. Would this be feasible? I think the chain ring is riveted to the crank, so that would mean replacing the whole crank.
Has anyone done this?
