Absolutely and as in usual hub fashion all the clever comments came out again.

32 tooth more common and 38 this way and that way, blah, blah blah........

Glad someone saw the humour in it :thumbup:

All I'm going to say, is that a friend of mine, who happens to be one of the fittest and strongest riders I know, is seemingly obvlivious to riding-induced pain, has been riding SS for years and for many of those years it was the only bike he owned, has ridiculous technical riding skills AND a beer-sprint that embarrasses most, rode Spioenkop last year and he says he had to get off and push. He was riding a GEARED bike at the time.

 

Choose your gears wisely, but more important than that, choose them with humility.

OK, I might not be as strong, and I might not have been on a SS as long as your friend, but I had no need to walk Spioenkop.

I am undecided. It'll be a 32x16, 34x17 or 36x18 (on my 29er).

 

Or I'll go large and hit the 40x20. Yeah that sounds like the one.

 

Nah - 52x26 it is.
