What gear ratio have previous SSers run on the TD? Do they take flip flop hubs or is it a set and forget rule like the Silverstate 508?

From what I have seen most are set and forget Alexandra Houchin was on 36 x 19 which is pretty nails on some of the climbs (Indiana is 3620 mts). Chris Plesko came in 2nd(?) behind Mike Hall in 2016 was on 32 x 16. Cant remember what Jenn Hill used.
(Sorry assumed Inbred had a gear hanger!)

Honzo will be perfect for the great divide route singletrack (12 miles out of 2800 LOL).
Actually buy the Honzo for the fun stuff. Honzo is a fun bike. Use the Inbred on the divide - its ideal for that.
