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!)

Sliding dropouts on it. It's 34x17 at the moment but I'm dropping it to 21T and then I need to find wider bars for it and maybe ghetto tubeless the wheels (actually rear is probably TL ready).
