forgot to mention I found the 40t up front with 11-40 sufficient in DC area. morning part of my commute is a pretty long uphill climb heading into Virginia, i think about a couple of miles, and the 40t cog on the cassette is pretty decent.i don't carry much on my commute (change of clothes, lunch).
also the Pelican has a 107mm or 108mm bottom bracket I believe.
