Use the agk gear ratio calculator, you need something like ~ 12.*** something overall reduction...sounds like your geared a little tall. Might want to consider using something like a 56t sprocket rear sprocket.

Also I'm not sure if they make sprocket adapters for the multi-geared hubs, there usually made for coaster brakes hubs.
Plus any good sprocket adapter and sprocket together is easily going to cost 70+ after shipping.

Another route is finding a decent rear disc mountain bike rim and buying a sprocket from agk of your choice that mount to the disk brake hubs directly without any special adapters

I currently have a 52 rear sprocket on predator my build and I have to use a 28t jack shaft sprocket and a 9t output and it's still geared a little tall.

Did you remove the governor ?

I have a Riverside with a China Girl.

If you will be keeping the fenders I strongly suggest you beef up the stays and mounts. For my rear fender mounts I replaced the stamped stays with .375" round bar. It is a single piece that loops under the fender just like the original stays. I flattened the the ends to mount at the frame.
I also replaced the little fender tab (under the seat) with a much more stout steel angle.
The fender is rock solid now and I am not worried about it coming loose and ending up in the wheel.

All these pictures of Riversides has me all excited, snork.

First time I saw a pic of a kit, this is almost the exact bicycle I saw in my head. My mental image differed only in that the bike was all black.

Chris is so right about the fenders! (Great build Chris. I am gonna have to do a ChinaGirl RS build) They will try and kill you if left alone. The fenders, not the kits or bike. Although.......

We should start a Riverside club. Well, guess ya already did, lol.
