OK so I've got my mountain bike (Reebok Solo) fitted out for road use and working pretty well but I'm running out of gears. Obviously being a mountain bike it isn't designed for speed. I'm informed I need a larger chainring on the front which sounds logical but given the el cheapo nature of the bike I'm not entirely sure what it has on it and what I'd be best upgrading to.
My current thought process is almost go as big as possible on the front and change gears on the rear as I shouldn't need many, I prefer to work on torque anyway rather than dropping down many cogs.
As usual any thoughts and suggestions much appreciated.
(sorry for starting yet another thread but my other thread was about which bike and that is settled now and I didn't want to pollute the cycling thread)
