I agree; I don't see the point of two rings on a ss/fixed (so called) unless you want more than two ratios or if you want really big gaps, say a high range for pavement and a low range for off road, with small axle movement. You get a lot more variation for each tooth by increasing or decreasing th

Thanks. I hope to get a ride on the new tires tomorrow: too much work, hacking to get the tires to fit the fenders/front rack, and car trouble/conversations to find time today. It's a custom made by Chaucey Matthews who lives in the area. It's beautiful and stiff, but in hindsight I ought to have

One thing i've noticed is that people really like to keep the amount of wheel movement to a minimum, either by taking advantage of small teeth changes in the rear only, or keeping the front spaced really close together. It makes me think that maybe switching to a single ring up front would make mo

My set up is nearly the same as Charlie's - just with lower gearing. 36/32 front 16/19 rear. I live in the mountains so the lower range works better for me. Incidentally, my setup offers nearly the same range as the stock QB gearing of 40/32 x 18. I ride around town in 36x16. I only use the lowe

I like the double cog in the rear, too. I think the chainline is better, and the axle doesn't move in the dropouts. As you get bigger tires and fancier fenders, you lose a lot of adjusting room. I use a 17x21 dingle fixed cog, and I have some different cranks with 40x44, 38x42, etc. The 32x21 was a
