just setting up hack fixed for spring spinning to get me back in the mood.
crappy hack road chainset was 56/42t and chrome, urgh, flexible even as a geared rig and throws the chain when S/S
Just found a low end but not badly made (shimano altus) MTB crank with 44t top ring. and with a 20t & 18t on a double fixed hub on 27" wheels.. .sheldon gives me 59.4" and 66.0" which sounds OK to me.
I live in lakes so its hilly as hell, 66" is great for spinny spring rides, and 59.4" for the mountain passes/ more hilly areas.
Just need to find a 39t NOS ring for road bike now, current inner ring is 42 or 44t which is just murder on the hills
