my latest single speed bike is running a 70" gearing

see thread An 80's Raleigh designed by G.O.D

wondered why i struggled up 2 slopes this morning as normally ride up ok , got back and checked gearing and what i thought was an 18 on the rear is actually a 15 ! so 84" gearing not 70" that will be why

Todays, very windy ride was 20 miles in 1hr 18 mins. I had to lean into the cross wind.

Popped in to leisure lakes about changing rear sprocket to a 16t as it confusing what it actually is. That will take me to about 78" I think but thankfully with this wind I will be on 69" for a few week till I return from work.
Tomorrows ride should be erm.... Fun

Great ride today; I just did my usual short lap which is about 15, but I did put a bit of effort in.

I went up to 48 on the chainring recently, but I prefer my usual 46x17. It just seems to suit my natural cadence. So I need to replace my worn-out 46...

It hasn't been a bad holiday break for riding at all, I know we have been a lot luckier than most. In the last 9 days there have been 2 days when we were off the bikes, in the 7 days we managed to get out we have ridden 252 miles which we think is not bad for this time of year. No cycling today but hope to get out tomorrow early before the rain arrives.

No rides just spent most of the time stopping the flood water getting into garage, house, car..... Tomorrow could be the day for a pootle out though
