I have been jonesing for this thing since I first placed the order, a week ago Monday. A week-to-ten-days my ass. Bastards.
What you are seeing is a 22 tooth cog on a Shimano Nexus three-speed hub. The original 19 tooth cog provided a gear range that was too high for practical use.
As it turns out, low gear with the original cog was about the same as the previous one-speed hub.
And as for the original cog's high-gear, well, I love this bike and

Lavi -
Have patience with the Post Office.
After all, your 22 tooth granny gear will get down the road 15% more slowly; what do you care if it took a few extra days getting to you.
Have patience with the Post Office.
First, have patience with the Post Office.
¡Ai!
Now that's just rubbing it in, eh?
At Bike Sebring a guy our age rode 20 miles per hour for 24 hours (480 miles). I'll bet he uses a 19 tooth cog
"a guy our age"
What's that?
I don't recommend badmouthing the United States Postal Service. It's called going Postal for a reason.
The key to sustained biking speed is to always ride in the downhill direction. Hope that helps.
oh boys, *whistle* check out my latest blog post. I think I may have Lavi's bike porn trumped with my windshield wiper porn.
btw, Lavi are the blue speckles on your she-bike some sort of genital warts?
Dear Rock; won't the wiper blade overhang damage the antenna?
Your wiper porn easily trumps any of Lavi's bike porn, despite the sexy Nexus hub.
hell, I am a chick and even I did not notice an antenna! D, are you sure you are feeling alright?
Rock, I am not a chick, and I adore beautiful chicks dressed or not, but alas - I'm an engineer and I tend to notice issues such as the ankle/antenna clearance problem or the burqua / bike chain entanglement possibility.
Your new wipers are already famous, a story was written about it: "Cat on a hot tin roof"
I see the situation now;(2) Engineers (2)chicks who have not ridden a bike in a dress and the Host is a programmer .
I guess It's up to me to point out that she could not possibly ride the bike without hiking-up her skirt.
There for no need for a chain gard or worries of burqua-catching.
Which is why it was considered "un-ladylike" for females to ride bikes until the mid. 20th century.
The chain-gard is so boys/girls wearing pants don't get thier pant leg caught in the sproket and go SPLAT!!! Ya Know what that feels like if you ever spent any handle bar time...With out a chain gard ;and with or without a penis.
