Just Thinking

i had the 6.5 system, and it worked like a champ. no cogging at all - i could go from a 2 mph crawl as smoothly as gunning it from a stop to WOT. it only gets a 12 lb rig (w/batteries) up to about 32 mph on novak's recommended gearing of 70/12 on 7 cells, but temps with that weight and gearing was about perfect. a strobe won't work unless you can find a mod1 spur with a lot more teeth than the stock 51t. using that risks overheating the system (heck, i almost overheated mine going a couple pinion teeth up). you may be able to get away with 70/13 on 7 cells, if your ambient temps are moderate. i think i was getting speeds around 34 mph on that gearing.
