The smaller step between gears should hopefully be welcome on the flats. by ___r_casey___ Bicycling Bike Bike Commuting Biking Commuting Cycling
pdxwanker on September 18, 2023 5:15 am None for the bike that goes most often. 8 speed, I believe 11-42 with a 46t ring on the one with gears. Yes, I’m a weirdo.
Zilberfrid on September 18, 2023 7:37 am Compact double or triple with 1/1 ratio on the smallest on my front gears. 11-32 or 11-34 rear (because I run 8 speed). 11-40 rear as the single gearing would also be accessible.
manspih on September 18, 2023 7:50 am 40t chain ring, 11-46 9speed cassette I don’t need a super low great most days, but pulling a kiddo-trailer up the hills requires less than 1-1 ratio..

11-50 with a 36t chain ring works for me

48t/19t one speed is the jack of all trades for me
