ha, not a stupid question. i had a basic idea of which ratios i could use that fulfilled the folloing criteria:
- ~50GI singlespeed and ~60GI fixed
- ergo max 4 teeth between fixed and ss cogs for flipflop (luckily pomp dropouts are fairly long)
- odd t fixed cog for max skid patches (arguably unnecessary but old habits etc)
i had a 44t on there to start with but you'd have to run a 19t cog and a 23t freewheel which is basically a dishplate. it's massive. do not want.
laner argued fairly convincingly for marginally better power transfer with a larger chainring when i joked about the marginal gains of running a smaller chainset and cog, but basically the biggest factor was that i just wanted a smaller one - i preferred the aesthetic. i don't have many standards when it comes to bikes but when i want something i'll do it.
@amey it was literally all i had in the house! i'm not abashed, they do the job
@andyp i'll keep it in mind (YAL and i could be pompino princesses together)! still ultra bruised from incredibly cross and then offroading all sunday

Does that also mean you need to reset the brake shoes position every time?
That make sense, both of the gearing actually sound pretty good, the other thing that's worth taking in consideration is that the tyres sizes have an effect on the GI (unless they're identical sized).

Stupid question, but why not get a bigger cog?
