Hairy Posted November 11, 2014 Share Last setup was a 32x17t on a 26'er .... gets a little tough up the really steep stuff on Table Mountain, so might go 32x18t next time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted November 11, 2014 Share Yeah 26er... Ok cool, will get a 32t... thanxYour starting point is 32 x 16 and then play from there to see what ratios work for you on the hills Before you start spending on different specific SS cogs, you can break and old cassette and experiment with 16t, 18t, 20t etc to find what ratio works best for you.

KenG Posted November 13, 2014 Share Not the best picture, but have a look anyway. I've got a way to go to get used to the single speed, but so far have enjoyed the ride. Beesrib, Wil6, hboli4 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanpre44 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Just learned that SS is not easy (so used to change to an easy gear going up hills). And the chain needs to be tentioned properly, especially on MTB (stuffed up my home made tentioner big time this afternoon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
