Ok guys, is this just a really bad idea? Using a gear splitter between 1st and 2nd gear so that the rpms don't take such a dump. Any benefit having 4 gears instead of 3, or would the extra weight offset the gains?
Lets have your thoughts on this, flames or not. It's winter for most of us and I'm just trying to come up with a new topic, and or a way to go faster.
