I don't think that the hobby even made it to the states but I'm almost certain that you probably got a non o-ring chain, lighter hubs and most likely lighter spokes as well. It would be nice to know what style hubs, spokes and chain the hobby as well.
As far as the gearing goes the 200 seems to be the most happiest with the stock 12/48 gearing. Most people upgrade to 13 / 51 gearing when its time to replace them as the 12 tooth front sprocket wears out fast.
good luck
