Spaceboy Posted May 11, 2009 Share Me too!! I am part of your 'gang' now I picked up a great deal on this Marin palisades trail frame, then built it up from stuff off my old frame. You purists might ask what's up with the suspension up front, but trust me, that fork is so poked it is very nearly a rigid I did 120km's on it this weekend, and absolutely loved it!!!!

Spaceboy Posted May 11, 2009 Share Thanks Thug. Yip, 32*16. Was very happy with it this weekend. Had a few peeps suggest to go with a ratio a bit harder like 34*16 etc, but I'm not too sure I will handle any kind of remotely technical uphill with it. What's the general consensus here regarding ratios for MTB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted May 11, 2009 Share I generally run 32x18 for normal use which I find allows me to climb most reasonable ascents. Although riding the Spruit can be done quite comfortably in a 32x16. I tried 32x16 for a race at Teak Place but had to climb off and walk up some of the hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
