Either set will put me in 5th gear for my "around town" speeds and keep me about 1250 RPM.

With the longer gear set, I can run the "highway" at about 2000 RPM (close to peak torque), but those gears are harder to find... So would the first gear set be OK? (I can find them all day.)

Is either of them too long? Will there be any other problems with them?

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
