Im getting close to finishing my Kona rat project/ winter hack.
I found a 96 lava dome frame in a skip, and am building it the rest up from bits i found Im my parents shed and cheap as chips used bits from my LBS!
I have nearly got it there. I recon one last push at the weekend and some £11 Renthal grips this weekend i will be riding it to work on Monday!
my only concern is gearing! Im obvs running it single speed. i was thinking of going 42 14 on it as i have a chain set with a granny ring, 34 ,42..and i was given a 14t rear cog..what will this be like on a 26? my ride to work is as flat as holland(cycle route 21)has no hill's to speak off..i used to run a dolan track fixie with a 42/16..and that was way to spinny!
Anyone run somthing siliar to this on a 26" comuter?
