  • people shouldn't dig up old threads.

  • 38x14, 3/32. Why? Just the bits I could get hold of at the time. Planning to get a bigger ring at some point.

  • that's my reason too.
    cost and convenience.

  • 47x16 1/8

    I chose it because with a reasonable cadence it puts me at a nice speed. Big problem in thick traffic though, and steep hills aren't happy occasions. I've got a 17 on the way so that should make things easier, and I'll keep 16 for the freewheel side.

  • Road: 44x17 and an 1/8th.
    Track: anything between 48x16 (Calshot) and 52x13 (roller racing). Mainly 1/8 with some cheap-ass 3/32 bits thrown in there.

  • 46x16 on one.
    44x16 on the other

    prefer 46x16 as it's much faster in london.

  • 47X18 and 49x19 - gotta love the spin and the prime numbers

  • So far we have:

    I always knew I was running a high freaking gear! Thankfully I have a 17 on order that will give me a 74.6 :)

  • 49x17 or 49x18

  • 48x17

  • 48x17, as well.

  • Lambert on 51 x 17 = 78.9"
    Ron Cooper on 46 x 18 = 68"
    Raleigh on 46 x 18 as a hack and 46 x 14 for TT = 86"
    Holdsworth on 49 x 17 = 75.8"

  • 48x17

  • 42x16 on one, 47x18 on the other
    high sixties on the road. spin ftw

  • 49x15 on the road

  • 46x18

  • 48 x 18, this might change soon though.

  • 52x18 170mm crank 23mm tyre = 75.9 gear inches

  • Currently running 46 x 17 with 165mm cranks.
    It's good for winning commuter sprints but now I'm road training again I really need to be resting more on my commutes, sooo..
    Just got a new Condor 17T and now I feel happy combining it with the HubJub supplied 44T Stronglight Zicral and Interlock 2 chain for a 'dinner for two' 69 inches.

  • "dinner for two" + 69 gear inches = hilarious

  • Glad you approve Hovis :) I certainly do ;)
    But what's with the lack of Granary? High-Fibre White? Soy & Linseed?
    (gosh darn aren't I funny today with my dehydrated eyeballs and under-sugared brain!)

  • brown's where it's at. simple and wholesome. like me.

  • 48x17 and 46x17

  • 50x18 during work that is.

  • Road: 46x17, 39x14
    Distance: 46x15
    1 in 4 Hillclimbs: 39x20
    Off Road: 39x16 or 17.

    165s at the moment - mainly because I've stripped the crank removal thread on the left:-(
