Gearing

[bluep]

I understand the F3 had lower gearing than the
Rt models ? But the parts list shows both models have 28 teeth on front pully and 79 teeth on the rear pully ??

What MY are you talking about?

The (my) 2019 F3-S has a 89t rear pulley. It is the geared down version. I "think" the standard F3 has a 79t rear pulley.

the change was in 17

If you change pully sizes on the rear drive you change the gearing. I understood the f3 was geared lower than the rt. But the part list shows the same number of teeth on both models. 28 teeth on front belt pully and 79 teeth on the rear pully

For the current model year, only the F3-S gets the larger sprocket. Earlier years the F3 and F3T got it.

I have a 2019 F3S and it has significantly different gearing than my buddy's 2018 F3L.

My 2016 F3T has the five spoke 89 tooth rear sprocket.

Fellas - all 2016 and older model F3s had 89t rear sprockets. I wanted higher gearing, so ultimately sold my 2016 F3T, went to the 2016 RT Ltd(79t sprocket), and finally back to my present 2017 F3Ltd, which was the first F3 model to come out with a 79t sprocket. I am not sure about newer year models, but believe only the F3Ltds have this gearing.
