Reposting for the new page as I think its perfection embodied. Clean lines, classic componentry, just the right amount of well matched jewellery.
People that are riding ssmtbs, what gearing are you running?
I've been using 32:17 or 18 but have been struggling on more technical climbs and needing to get off an push a wee bit. Also been having a bit of knee pain so was keen to reduce the gearing and to that end, I've just bought a 21t WI freewheel off ebay as it was going dirt cheap (slightly abused remover notches but runs like butter). I'm wondering if paired with the 32t up front it'll be too light. I guess the chainring on the bike its going on is starting to look a bit worn so I can go up a tooth or two when I replace it if need be.
