Re: Large Reduction Single Speed Gearbox

I know that there are some 2 speed gearboxes with that large of a reduction, but I would prefer not to spend twice as much money for a shifter with an unusable top speed.

My team is planning on using 8 inch wheels so the large reduction is necessary to get to a goal speed of roughly 7 fps.
Also because of large wheels, we're not using our gearbox for direct drive, but using chains with different sized sprockets for additional reduction.
