I just got the 38T ring in, and installed it last night along with the 12-34 Riv cassette. "Blue Hen Hilsen" will be a very obscure nickname for it. On Tuesday, February 24, 2015 at 1:22:36 PM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > Oops! > > I hit post before finishing. What I was going to say is t

My fatbike has a low of 22x36. Not as low as it looks as the 3.8 inch tires make for a larger diameter. Have thought of making it a 42t in rear. Just because. On the Sam Hillborne, until last fall the bike was a 1x9 with 39t up front and 11-36 in back. Only changed it because I would be climbing

My 650b MTB has a a single 28 tooth chainring and 10-42 cassette, which yields a high GI around 77 and a low around 18.4. I used to race cyclocross with a single 39 tooth chainring and 12-27 cassette. 38 x 12-36 sounds nice for a mixed terrain bike. Equipped thusly, you will be able to escape th

I don't think I have anything with a lowest highest gear lower than 104 inches, which is what's on my custom - 44x11. That is good up to about 28-29 MPH. My Redwood is 46x11, so slightly higher. Maybe my 90s MTB, but the big ring is 48 with a 7 speed freewheel on the back of unknown ratios - hav

I knew Patrick Moore would be a contender. I couldn't remember if his Ram was 50x16 or 52x16. I'm disqualifying the bikes that don't have derailers. If I included them, my Gunnar doublespeed has a 64" high gear (49" low) and I'd have Patrick Moore beat for the Delaware gear. On Tuesday, Fe

Note that it's easy at least for short sprints -- catching a light, for example -- to get even a 75" gear up to 30 mph -- about 140 rpm. That's only 120 rpm or so for a 83" gear. On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 12:03 PM, Patrick Moore wrote: > 52 X 16 X 27" on the Ram: 88" (low = 39") > > 38 X 13 X 28.5
