I still think it's geared too high for even the small hills around here -- you just reminded me I snapped the chain last summer standing on the pedals on one of them.

Combination of raw strength and a 55 year old chain!

I will have to mention that to my nephew. He's more likely than me to use brute force than finesse.

If I had parts on hand, I would have changed the rear gear by now.
