What's your favourite gear ratio?

hippy Below 90" seems "spinny"? You have an interesting definition of spinny. You should be taking Wiggans spot on the GB track team.. :)

I will give them a call ! ;P

hippy
Actually all this talk does take all those factors in.. you will notice that most people specify a gear around 70".. irrespective of their other factors.. what does that tell you? We all got it wrong? Don't think so.

Don't worry, you got nothing wrong. :)

". . .does take all those factors in" + "irrespective of their other factors" = ?

My point is that there are people who are (physiologically) more suited to higher than average and lower than average gearing, perhaps I made my point badly in my post.

80 G.I might be fine for a 6ft 4in Olympian with 59%/41% type 1/type 1 musculature and proportionally long legs - where as a lower G.I might be more apt for someone more like myself (take everything good in the above description and keep it in the pub for 20 years).

Just a simple point about context that is all.
