Does this online calculator seem accurate? I have 13/46 that gives me a sustained top speed of about 50mph according to my phone gps. Using the calculator, I see that a 15/42 would be 26.4% increase to about 63mph. I use it to check fields some miles away and rip around on gravel roads mostly. As it is, it's geared way too low and second gear is how I would like first gear to behave like. According to the calculator, the 15/42 would allow me to use the same chain.
Has anyone dual-sported their bike or otherwise set it up for gravel roads? I will do a steering stabilizer if it get's too twitchy which I suspect will happen.
