What size Chainring ! ! !

[L.E.D.]

Just messing around on youtube came across Fargo street , a nice enough video until you get to 39seconds that guy could ride up a wall with that chainring ! !

Doesn't seem to be working for him. Can't even ride straight up it.

Yeah, towards the end of his bit, looks like he gave up.

Looks like a nice little climb..........

Yeah it's a wicked hill and quite a few nice videos about it, survival is what it's all about it seems.
I haven't climbed a hill like this since i was a kid.

Tempted to give it a go though if i can find a secluded hill, it might wash away the years.

Yeah - have a go

I think it was that hill that someone posted a vid of a bike which had been adapted so the rider was sitting horizontally on the 45 degree slope - ie the front end was very low and the back end high relatively. If you see what I'm badly explaining. The chap seemed to be able to climb much better than the others on that machine. I think he rode up in the saddle without weaving about.

 

[L.E.D.]

Found it ! !

Love it when on the second run he uses a bigger gear 8.6inches ! ! !

Ha! LoL. It's like a Python Sketch with riders falling off for no apparent reason. That front chain ring is tiny! It's a rear sprocket surely?

How about this chain ring?
