Richard,

I think the dash-2 gearings are more like:

2,23	
1,47	
1,04	
0,846	
0,705	

Giving the percent figures of:

151,7	
141,35	
122,93	
120	

I'd personally prefer these gearings to your (and mine also) dash-1 ratios
with the exception on the increased tallness of 1st gear. The 3-4 ratio in
the dash-1 is simply ridiculous. But a .8 fourth and a .6 fifth... That'd be
something! Oh, BTW, Butfoy does not offer the .655 tall fifth for the
dash-1...only the dash-2.

Tomas
