I am still wondering about the gearing in the 2 speed.

it lists 18t input and 21t other gear
and 13t input and 26t other gear

The 18 and 13 go on the input shaft, obviously. What do the 21 and 26t gears do? Are they the output gears? The outputs are listed as a pair of 33t gears with a drive dog carrier and spacer.

I am wondering if the 21 and 26t gears are the idlers, and are different to maintain the correct spacing between the input and output gears? That does not make much sense either as the stock gearing is 18t and 33t. So the close ratio would be identical.

So I guess that they are geat sets, the idler must be positioned differntly to maintian mesh. It appears that the 20t idler is used for both.

That would make the close ratio 2:1 with the stock 1.83:1
While the wide ratio is 1.16:1 with the stock 1.83:1

This would mean that the stock ratio is the 2nd gear in the close ratio and the 1st gear in the wide ratio.

This is all kind of fishy to me. Does not really add up. I guess we will have to see when it comes out!

And I really need to start paying attention Here is the two speed explained!
