Best SS shop to buy bits ??

Velodrome shop is worth a visit,

What are you running on the front? 48x18 here which I've been running for years, occasionally spin out on the flat with a good tail wind, but mostly It seems like a good compromise (only had to get off once to get up a hill)

Still easy to try, and maybe enough in horizontal dropouts to let you use the same chain, have you got a flip flop hub?

I'm running the original 42 t front cog and yes it has a flip flop hub.Cheers for your help

Put some gears on it then you can shop anywhere

They will never take off !

They will never take off !

I was running 39x19(?) last week and was spinning out at 16mph
Otherwise I would have caught 400bhp

65 inch gear, 44x18, for me its a good compromise between speed and climbing, on level ground I tend to spin out somewhere between 20 and 25 mph depending on weather and how I feel.

You can borrow my 44:17 next time if you want - it spins out just under 30mph

That's weird, mine spins out at 30mph as well, but it's 44:15!?

Another vote for on-one as well.
