I guessing the Singlespeed ratios you guys are giving me are for off road?

I've been running 42/17 and I get bored of spinning that after about 5 miles. It's great I can get up all the hills fine. I live in Hastings it's a hilly town but the coastal flats need a bigger gear I'm gonna try 42/15 and push it up the big hills and speed along the sea front!

Thanks to everyone for their comments

I live in hastings too

find my 34/18 set up ok for general riding and messing about on

What do you ride Mobes?

You're not the guy who rides the 80's Hutch BMX along the seafront are you :twisted:

Back to this ratio business do all you guys ride big heavy bikes with big knobby tyres? these 34t chainrings for road riding seem crazy to me.

42/17 was OK today 10 miles into a headwind, most of the afternoon BMX riding, 10 miles home. Any tail wind or downhill its freewheeling all the way.

i run a 44 - 13/14 on my Cannondale commuter. Gear inches of about 81. Tried 36/11 no good, tried 42/12 no better.

Not a problem Frogskins...

That's a nice looking pavement plaything you've got there Mobes

42/15 is much better (I can understand why gears caught on though)

Thanks to all

Entered for BOTM (not a hope), so a good excuse to show some updates! Went to help my Gran out in her garden today, as good an excuse for a ride as any...









Weather wasn't great but always nice to go for a ride.

Better tyres, 1.7 Ritchey Z Max WCS. Better saddle Avocet o2. Better cable colours Bigger c'ring 44t Syncros.

Beautiful to ride!
