The cast wheel would look odd. To be honest I cannot say the standard gearings ever been a problem for me.

i don't think the wheel looks too bad or noticeable, but different. i have only had it on there for a few rides, it is not as slow in the woods, but runs nicely on the gravel, each gear is longer and i never have to use 5th until on the tarmac with yelds a higher speed with low rpms.

i am just not sure about the durability? i am hopping for better fuel economy from 38ish mpg to around 48mpg at cruising speed, however i run full on nobbies, dunlops 606s which suck the fuel mileage.

i am just not sure about it, i may put back on the original..
