Hi Richard,

My 1927 Flyer had the exact same specs as the bike you describe. So a wide box and:

– flywheel: 20 T
– clutch: 44 T
– outrigger: 19 T
– rear: 40 T

I always thought it revved quite high doing about 55…. Much higher than my mates 28 Flyer with the same gearing besides a 22 outrigger…

So, I guess, it was pretty standard…just like in the BOS.

After my enginework is complete I’m gonna try:

– flywheel: 22 T
– clutch: 44 T
– outrigger: 21 T
– rear: 40 T

That should be a lot nicer to ride!
