Gearing Q:
« on: April 15, 2012, 11:49 AM »
Just having a look at some of the bits i have for a build and have a snow flake chain ring of 44t which i want to use and also found a suntour 17t = now is that gonna make me pedal like a Muppet

i try and run a 44/16 and find it good - then on another ride i have and that is 40/16 harder to keep up but great for a quick burst of speed - rides alright

so where will the 44/17 sit ?

cheers B  ;)

Harder to pedal than 40/16 not as hard as 44/16.

Dr Jon in the house.
Your 44/17 will feel slightly higher than the 40/16, more like a 41/16.
If you're gonna ride this much get a 16 tooth freewheel :daumenhoch:

Cheers guys - it's going on a Team goose i'm doing and the old snow flake is some thing i want to keep - the suntour is a spare sitting around - the bike will most likely only be ridden on such things like one london ride and a couple of shows ~ so i guess if it is sitting in the middle it should be alright

the 40/16 on the london ride on the silverfox was alright but better for cutting down the streets and not long roads

well if nothing comes up i will try it   ;D

cheers B  ;)

As a rough guide, going 1 tooth higher at the back will feel like going down 2 and a half on the front.
