Nofearnofun Posted March 5, 2017 Share When skollie is.racing for position I'm sure he'll rethink the chainring size. Right now he just wants to have fun on the trails and get to the top without having a hernia. Wide range and 30t for the win.Are you trying to pedal up the side of a high rise building with that ratio... In my opinion... I find anything smaller than a 32T up front to be a waste of time. Never mind spinning out, (I couldn't be bothered with hi speed pedalling myself) but when it comes to acceleration, power transfer on the smaller chain rings absolutely sucks! But it depends on how you ride and what you want from the bike. I also get lazy, if I can't pedal uphill while in 42t rear/34t front, I won't do it on a 30t either...

Will probably get an 11-46 sunrace cassette when my XT runs out of life to put me in the same position. Andrew_Smith and B20PV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nofearnofun Posted March 14, 2017 Share LOL. Yeah, but you're like, 11 squilion kilos lighter than me... All these new choices in gears have made us all weak. We used to ride 34t 11-36 and probably made it up more climbs than we do now days with 30t,32t,34t - 11-42 Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and the nerd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to ride 34t 11-36 and probably made it up more climbs than we do now days with 30t,32t,34t - 11-42and in 2009, the wind was supposedly stronger. I doubt ppl have become weaker. but these wide ranges have allowed a wider spectrum of fitness levels onto the trails, and allowed the fitter riders to attempt even steeper climbs. something for everyone, not a toughness competition.

I said this because there is no chance I would be able to pedal up the hills I used to if you gave me my old ratio's. I might feel easy gears have made me weaker, or is lazier the word I should be using... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robodog Posted March 15, 2017 Share whahahaha! just as well he slowed down or something might have caught fire Back when I was younger, fitter and stupider - the rear tyre of my road bike used to slip on the rollers in a 53-11 during interval sessions which would cause a burning rubber smell to waft through the house.

Okay, so that's two road bike references in two posts. Somebody please ban me. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
