ALFAHOLIC Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 What gear ratio? Sent from my HUAWEI GRA-UL00 using Tapatalk
speednut Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 In this image it's a 42/16 but typically I'll run 52/16.
BenReaper Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 In this image it's a 42/16 but typically I'll run 52/16.Fark me sideways, it must be pretty flat around youre parts, or you just like to hurt yourself. [emoji6] Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk
speednut Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 Yup it is kinda flat. Gonna try that setup for 94.7 this year- will suffer on the hills but hopefully not get dropped on the flats
BenReaper Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Looks good, busy with a similar build myself, an old steel road frame that I am going to run single speed on some cyclocross tyres. Went to see what options I have at my Lbs on chainrings for the older model Shimano crank I intent to use and was hit with the news. All they got in that BCD is 50T and 52T.That wil leave me with 52/50 - 16/17/18.It ain't flat where I live, so they will be looking for smaller rings for me, or I'll have to get n different crank. 52/16,my legs hurt just thinking about it.
