I'm hoping to try out SS trail riding at Haldon Forest over Christmas:
https://www.moredirt.com/trail/South-West/Challenge-Trail---Haldon-Forest/1335/
and have all the bits together to build up 2 bikes for me and son- one 29er and other 26", both steel hard tails with solid forks.
Question: what would be suitable novice MTB gear ratios for Devon hilly terrain? (we're both daily road cyclists). I was thinking 32/16 but some of the bikes on here appear to have smaller chainrings?
I have 16t sprockets for both but yet to get the chainrings.
