So sick, good looking bike.

So sick, good looking bike. Just a suggestion gear down and save your knees. If you are commuting on this inevitably your stopping distance will far exceed when you have to actually stop. (not trying to be dick by any means)

Submitted by fastsundays on 12/25/2007.

uh pretty sure 52/13 would be like 4 crank revs to 1 wheel rev.. now thats fast.

Sorry you, you write it smallest to largest, you wrote it backwards. thats the only reason i said that. a 13 tooth cog and 52 tooth chainwheel would only give me 8 more inches per rev.. . so its not that much faster anyway. but a 52 tooth cog and 13 tooth chain wheel, like you wrote it, would be almost standing still... soo

Gearing...

Submitted by Tbirdbassist on 03/14/2008.

I've pushed some big gears and know some guys that do the same. I'm a messenger and these guys are as well so things apply differently to a guy just riding for commute/fun.

But running that big a gear on the street BRAKELESS isn't really the best for you. I've run 48:14, 48:11, 49:14, 52:12, 50:14. It's the best feeling to be able to chill at 35 mph with the cars but when it comes down to an "Oh Shit" moment, you aren't going to be able to stop in any time quick enough.

I don't have anything against running a big gear (my definition of big is 85 or more gear inches, Keiran/Sprint territory basically), I love it actually. it's just a fucking hassle on the body to get that shit going and then having to stop it. Especially in traffic... more thinking ahead than I'd like... and 48:13... that's thinking ahead about 600ft (3 uptown/downtown blocks here in NYC).

Where do you ride?
