Swoo... The Dual is a 650c bike. The newer Soloist is a 700c. He is 167 cm tall at this time and growing fast. I will take a photo of him in the 51 size Soloist to get some comments on his position. It seems now as you and others suggest that I should make the change in the chainrings.
In México using a screwdriver and adjusting the low travel screw on the rear derailleur so that the rear shifter will not move to the smaller gears in back is too risky as some judges allow this practice and some will not. To eliminate the chance of exposing my kids to an argument in this regard from an over enthusiastic father of a second place winner, I prefer to remove the sprockets from the cassette. :)
Thanks again to all.
