I was in the same boat abot two years ago when I first went from the stock 130/70 rear  tire to a 130/90 which effectiavly drops 1000 rpms for each gear.  for me it was easier to find tires in taller sizes than a new sprocket.  instead of going to a 18 tooth sprocket you may want to try going to a 80 series rear tire.

That means that it is a very very effectiv way to choose a new rear tyre - which effectively drops 1000 rpms for each gear. Well - how does this big tyre change the bike  - is it more difficult to ride such a tyre!?

ratio

130 / 90 = 1,4444444
130 / 70 = 1,85714286
