I calculated my gearing to speed

I think this is what it works out to but I really have no idea if this is possible. 7000 rpm??? I saw 33 mph today.

20....crank gear
82....clutch gear

10....counter shaft sprocket
40T.... rear wheel sprocket

Iv heard 6000 is typicaly the max for bearing based wristpin engines and 8000 for bushing based. Though I have no idea why bearings are slower then bushings.

I can live with 6000 rpm. That's 28 mph and that's really fast enough for my little puppy.
