HD450 SE, possible to replace?
Had these for a few years. Just noticed this issue. Is it an easy fix?

Saw this mural and had to take a short break.
I don't know if all Verve 3's do, but mine came with a Prowheel 40T chainring. And since the day I got it, it felt like the bike was geared too high for me. Very rarely going past 4th.
So I figured I'd add more Shimano parts to go with the Cues 10spd, and drop to 32T. On my short test ride to the LBS to double check it, it felt fantastic! Comfortably cruising in 6th and 7th now, and still a few gears for future improvements. The teeth on the chainring make pedaling feel smoother too somehow. 😂
Needless to say, I'm happy with the upgrade. I highly recommend it.
