  • I think I have 32x17 on the Inbred at the moment. I dropped the chainring from 34 or 36 or something. I think it's probably comfortable 20kph cruising to the shops but kinda sucks trying to do normal road pace.

    Kona has 32x16 and a bashring. I wonder if I could run two cogs quite close use the sliding dropouts to take up the slack? Would prefer not to add another chainring but then not sure how much bigger gear I could run.

    This thing on the RHS

  • Yeah where I am is pretty flat and found the spin to the hills on the 29+ soul destroying, hence the set up. I still get the simplicity of the singlespeed, just means I get to where I want to ride a bit quicker so have more time to enjoy the fun bit.
    I suppose I could always put the bike on top of the Audi....but I dont have an Audi.

  • I do have a car but I've always hated the idea of driving to the hills to ride.

    I've got two singlespeeds here and would like to stick knobbies on one and try riding the Chiltern Ridgeway without luggage. But the start is about 50k from here so, not that keen doing another 6hrs out/back.
