So been jamming this the weekend. Already gonna n- 1 so I can keep it. Just trying to figure the ratio. 42 x 16 is pretty cool but I know as soon as I hit the mountain I'm dead. What is a good balance between hills and flats?

Meet 'Black Betty' ... a repurposed 26" Scott Scale carbon frame that had a destroyed RD hanger (integrated in the frame so was never repaired)

 

Running 27.5 wheels, a Kenda Karma 2.0 just squeezes in the rear. Piss arsed around for ages with different combinations of chain ring/sprocket to get the 'magic gear' right.

 

Need to sort the seatpost/clamp tomorrow... the clamp is like 38mm or something. The seatpost I think is 34.9.

 

Anyway will have to find something, anyone have anything around Jobeg please let me know?f5fae83d8355cedfa8a5dbd27c00ff0a.jpg

That was the inspiration for the name mate!

Because when you ride a SS MTB at speed you are spinning at about the same tempo as the chorus of the song :P
