(NSFW) This has aged very well.

Following on from this, but completely off topic

Check this out https://www.artofmanliness.com/style/shaving/how-to-shave-with-safety-razor/

I've been using a safety razor for 15 years now and its the best thing I ever did, none of these fancy razors from your article ever gave me a proper shave.

To bring it back on topic, I guess its the equivalent of  going single speed

… so if anyone needs a 32T, another one just become available…🤭 I see it’s number 18.

Realistically with an eagle drivetrain a 32tooth in Gauteng is pretty useless. Given that 1/4 the population and 1/3rd of the gdp in GP, there is likely a fair percentage of bikes with eagle in GP.

 

If you run the analytics on your gear usage with an AXS set up you can figure out the best front chainring to run to get the most out of your gears/legs. I have a 32,34 and a 36 tooth front chainring in rotation. The 32 is great for big elevation rides and super long rides where you will never manage to output huge power day after day. For expeditions quite a few go to a 28 even.

If you look at even a 34tooth on a 120km ride in PTA, there is no time spent in the granny gears even with wtf and a few other PTA east 'climbs' thrown in.

But C2T where it is longer and there is a good wad of proper climbing the 34tooth is a perfect fit.

 

Yes those are both mostly gravel, but the reality is there is a lot of 'mtb' gravel riding done in GP.

Singletrack is short enough to push watts that you don't need a 32tooth. Below you can see Rosemary hill with a 5km to and from the folks farm to Rosemary hill. 34tooth is perfect and I am not a huge power output rider.

Appreciate the efforts for bringing in the  numbers. Seems like there is a run of gears that don’t get real chain time.🤔
