People ride bikes on roads?

I ride 50/34 and 11-32/34 on both my varieties of grav/allroad/whatever bikes, seemsfine™️.

yay #gearchat
I have one bike
gasps
It has 1x 42t / 11-28

I commute single speed these days on 42x18 with a wald basket

Brompton is 54t with 2 speed 13 and 16t

u wot m8?

I have had thoughts about 48/32 for the rack/touring gravel bike as I don't think Ive ever used the 11 apart from descending, but, I've also never found 34/34 to not be enough.

It's ok to get a triban as a dadbike/kidtransporter right?

Approved. It's what my Arkose is, although sometimes that seems gravel. On towpaths.

Yeah, but what gear ratios tho

Bet it doesn't even have a dropper post

Eight of em, all a bit laggy but I've never had to clean it...

My commute is flat the whole way apart from one mild hill which I can't be bothered struggling up else I'd just go single speed too

Sometimes I just do fucking sick whip skids and weave in and out of all the traffic that is too slow to keep up with me. The grannies on the bus all wave as I go stroking past...

Slightly disturbing euph?

Different strokes for different folks

I really like my 46/34 + 11/34

That thomson thing isn't a bike, it's a chopper.

I'm having a real hard time to decide if I need mid cage(28 to 36 cassette) or long cage(36 to 42?).
Ideally I'd use a 42 chainring and have a big cassette on the off-road wheelset and a smaller one on the road (and cross race) wheelset

Check the sprocket capacity of both of those. Cage length doesn't change how big of a cog it can fit under (on its own)

48/32 - 11-32 here, it’s perfect, will be going 11-34 on next cassette, new 11spd one was only out in ultegra spec at the time which is too £££ for me!
