Eai 1/8 17t

  • Anyone know who has them in stock?

    Hubjub has 16 and 18 but I really want 17, have been running 49/16 on my ss, but want to run a low 70 gear inch on the fix and I am getting a 46t front with my Sugino 75.

  • 46 x 18 is good too. really good.

  • 46 x 18 has magical properties, as discussed on previous threads, but 46 x 17 is the medium gear standard.

  • Hmmm, so your saying go with 18t? 69 seems a bit low? Would I find it a bit too low after running 49/16 or is it a great ratio with the supposed magical properties?

  • With a 700x23, it's 67.5"

    In this gear, 80rpm is 16mph, 90rpm is 18mph, 100rpm is 20mph, etc.

    Apart from the built in cadence indicator, it's low enough for snappy acceleration, getting up 15% climbs, and feeling more at one with the world than you'd ever thought possible ;)

    I've also hit 40mph 46x18 :O

  • Brick Lane Bikes had them in a couple of weeks ago dude, though i plumped for a 17t Phil instead - those EAI are pricey

  • i might have an EAI 17T or 18T kicking around, will look when get home :)

  • Cheers Dogs, let me know.
    I am getting with the 18t option.

    dale i would be interested if tomiskinky knocks it back.

  • 47x19 I'm loving that shit

  • 48x19

    Interesting what BMMF says, never heard that before

  • i now use 44/14 on 170mm cranks, giving somewhere around 80 gear inches. seems to suit me fine cos i can get to a decent speed without peddling like a mofo.
    I found 44/16 too slack, although its nice when starting off

  • I has 17t EAI. Fairly well used. Also has completely untouched Miche 17t. Both 1/8 natch. Lemme knoow

  • Asm, do you still have the Miche sprocket around? Do you still want to part with it?

    I looking for one, so please let me know.

    44:15 = perfect.

  • Do any one know what other brands of sprocket can you use with Miche hubs, apart from Miche itself?

    I know there is a issue with theads dimmension, but I can't find that information paired with the brand of sprockets.

  • I have a spare EAI 17t, brand new, would want what I paid for it, was an unwanted pressie for a mate who got one before I could give it to him. You prob don't need it now...
