SS gearing for PIR Short Track?

Ron and Dorothy Strasser

2007-06-29

Spencer... I am not as fast as Tony, but ride a 29er as well... my gearing
is 42-20 for a 56.7... I think if I tried a higher gear I would blow up and
not be able to maintain my effort for the race.
good luck,
ron

Spencer,
Last season I narrowed it down to a 32x16 on my 29er. This is a 58"
gear. If I were a little stronger I might be able to push a 15, but,
umm...not this year. For general, long distance SSing I use a 32x18.
Hope this helps.
