    Gear Ratio For Cruiser?

    I have found a couple of 28's...would 1.57 be uncomfortable for cruising?

    Gear Ratio For Cruiser?

    Thanks Cap. At the moment I have a 44T. I may change the crankset in the future, but the price on this one was to good to ignore, lol. (free form OddJob) I found a 24T cog on amazon.... 1.83:1 doesn't sound like a huge improvement over 2:1.

    Gear Ratio For Cruiser?

    So, Tucson has some relatively flat areas, but the are a surprising number of hills here. Long, looooong gentle hills. Steep shorter hills. All kindsa hills. Just in case anyone is curious, I hate math... So, do I need a gear ratio lower than 2:1/44T:22T? and if so, does anyone make a 26T...

    Thanks Cap. I really wanted a vintage frame for this build, because I really like the old/new thing......but.... Now I need a vintage frame for the NEXT build which I am ALREADY planning, lol. I am just not sure how noticeable the stripes will be with the white walls and rotors....

    lol. I was surprised no one has an opinion on the pinstripes. I can't decide which I like better.....
  16. Ravenshurst

    Raven

    But the question is.....Does everyone prefer pinstripes, or not? Raven will wear white walls when she is done.

    Problem solved...and a question...

    Raven

    I may have a problem, don't know yet....well...I may have lots of problems, lol..... the 22.2mm quill is just the tiniest bit too big for the steerer. I am not going to use this fork, I just haven't received the new fork yet. (more waiting). I will wait until I try my stem in the right fork...
