I ride a 2005 GW with a 2012 Road Smith conversion, and a post over on another board intrigued me. A GW rider, two wheels, starts off in second gear to reduce the 'clunk' aspect of 1st to 2nd, others posting confirm they do this as well. Sounds reasonable for a smooth start, not sure it would work so well with a trike conversion with the additional weight and differential change up. The low range, low end first gear must be there for a good reason. Any opinions, comments?
