  • What you all running in the city of hills?

    I'm currently on 44x17 giving me 69.3 inches

    Winter tyres might up that a bit, I'm not sure how much longer I can stay on the road with slicks!

    I hear that.

    48x20, which is about 64 gear inches. I find this fine most of the time, like when my commute to work at peak traffic times becomes my bikes soul purpose.
    Having a fixed\fixed hub, I can flip it to 48x16, which is about 81 gear inches, at any time. This is a lot of fun for speed brake-less, but my knees often hurt accordingly.

  • I run 40x15
    dont know what it is in inches but its fairly light.

  • 42x16 Seems fine for hills, up and down!

  • You can work your inches out here...

  • I just picked up a 18t cog for my visits to Bristol. 47x17 is what i run out here in Cheltenham.

  • I'm on a 65" - the flip side of the hub gives me 68"ish which feels 'right' but lets just say that I'm a couple of stone too heavy for it!

  • Current in winter mode, so I've got a 42x16 on 28s with shit AlexRims.
    Otherwise running a 42x15 on 23s with white Deep Vs.

    By the way, does anyone else think that Bristol has an extrordinary amount of broken glass on the side of every road?

  • i agree, have to keep busting out my ninja slalom techniques. no punctures in 2 years, touch wood.
