Default Going up A mountain w/44 tooth sprocket

I recently went from a 36 tooth to a 44tooth. So the first thing I did was go up the biggest mountain near me which is A Mountain or Sentinel peak.
It goes from 2,389ft to 2,890ft, thats 501ft in just over 1/2 mile. Very step grade!!
I was able to go all the way without pedaling. I think I'll keep the 44.

Nice!~ What are you doing with the 36T?

I wished I would have known, I'd have offered to trade you for a 44T!

A few years ago King's had a sale on there 80cc kit for $150.00. Well, I got a few of them. I still have two kits brand new in the box. I'm saving them for future builds. They all came with a 44t, I used one of them just to try out and I like it better then the 36t.
The 36t for right now I'm going to keep, I may need it later on.

Thanks.

We don't have all that much in the way of hills 'round here and I am setting the next couple of bikes up with a 36T.

I got off work early today and when I got home it was only 98deg. So I decided to ride my pedal bike up A Mt. Yes, I ride a pedal bike every now and then but I do not wear spandex or shave my leg's. I know this is a motorized bike forum but I thought I share it with you.
Here is the video I made coming down. I got half way down when I remembered my camera is also a video camera.
