I've had a SRAM P5 internal hub (w coaster) built to fit my only bike which gets used for just about everything.
I test rode a Velorbis Arrow which has 61 gi and loved the bike so figured that making my direct drive gear (3) something close to this would be sensible.
If I use the 22 tooth sprocket I have with a 51 touch chainring then I get gears of 38.6, 47.6, 60.9, 78.0 and 96.2 according to Sheldon
These numbers are dutch to me though - does it sound like a useable setup for a london bike?
Once I've read up on chain lines, I'll be asking questions about them too. If I can get this set up with the crankset I have at the mo (shite steel with cottered cranks) I will but will upgrade to maybe the Sturmey set up when I have the available money.
Thanks
