Hi folks,
Single speed noob here trying to gauge a decent gear ratio for Edinburgh. (I know there are a lot of variables)
Im currently running 46 - 16. Which is fine for the most part but after 3 or 4 climbs from Stockbridge up to Bruntsfield I am labouring big time.
Having said that, im loving the training...so man up or make it a little easier?
Iām in Cornwall so very hilly and run 48x17. Anything around 71-72gear inches works for me.
I run 73ā and it gets me around town and the hills route ok.
Fixed I run at 69ā down south and find it good for hills, but occasionally light overall
You are currently running 77ā
