Drivetrain

people shouldn't dig up old threads.

38x14, 3/32. Why? Just the bits I could get hold of at the time. Planning to get a bigger ring at some point.

that's my reason too.
cost and convenience.

47x16 1/8

I chose it because with a reasonable cadence it puts me at a nice speed. Big problem in thick traffic though, and steep hills aren't happy occasions. I've got a 17 on the way so that should make things easier, and I'll keep 16 for the freewheel side.

Road: 44x17 and an 1/8th.
Track: anything between 48x16 (Calshot) and 52x13 (roller racing). Mainly 1/8 with some cheap-ass 3/32 bits thrown in there.

46x16 on one.
44x16 on the other

prefer 46x16 as it's much faster in london.

47X18 and 49x19 - gotta love the spin and the prime numbers

I always knew I was running a high freaking gear! Thankfully I have a 17 on order that will give me a 74.6 :)

49x17 or 49x18

48x17

48x17, as well.

Lambert on 51 x 17 = 78.9"

48x17

high sixties on the road. spin ftw

49x15 on the road

46x18

48 x 18, this might change soon though.

52x18 170mm crank 23mm tyre = 75.9 gear inches

Currently running 46 x 17 with 165mm cranks.
It's good for winning commuter sprints but now I'm road training again I really need to be resting more on my commutes, sooo..
Just got a new Condor 17T and now I feel happy combining it with the HubJub supplied 44T Stronglight Zicral and Interlock 2 chain for a 'dinner for two' 69 inches.

"dinner for two" + 69 gear inches = hilarious

Glad you approve Hovis :) I certainly do ;)
But what's with the lack of Granary? High-Fibre White? Soy & Linseed?
(gosh darn aren't I funny today with my dehydrated eyeballs and under-sugared brain!)

brown's where it's at. simple and wholesome. like me.

48x17 and 46x17

50x18 during work that is.

Road: 46x17, 39x14
Distance: 46x15
1 in 4 Hillclimbs: 39x20
Off Road: 39x16 or 17.

165s at the moment - mainly because I've stripped the crank removal thread on the left:-(
