52 X 16 X 27" on the Ram: 88" (low = 39") 38 X 13 X 28.5" on the Fargo: 83" (low = 25")
46 X 15 X 24.5" on the gofast: 75" (low gear = 66") 48 X 17 X 24.8 on the '03: 70" (low gear = 63") I hardly ever use the outer cogs on the Ram and Fargo; 95% of my riding is between 74" and 60" on the Ram, 74" and 40" on the Fargo. I find a tight cruising range far more desirable than extreme highs or lows. On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 11:58 AM, Bill Lindsay <tapebu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Every state in America has a highest point.
