The torque is awesome now with the new gearing, and, even I find this hard to credit, I got a faster top speed than with my 12/40 gearing. Perhaps I just didn't get the room with 12/40 .. 12/40 the fastest I went was 102km/h, today with my 12/42 I got 104.5km/h. I'm pleased to say the least. That works out to roughly 65mph.
