Yes I know, coming into the thread to read it, then post something is optional. But it's still a dull thread.

i started with a 61 then 72 then 77 and kept going faster have settled on 82 x16 giving me 138 inch gear ,it suits my low cadence ,high torque style of riding .ian bowdler .a top time trialist in the uk uses a 77 predominatly on his tt bike with gears and does very well with it. if you want to look further into this a rather underated lady called beryl burton rode in the uk in the 50s destroying tt records and nearly every body on a bike ,she sadly is deceased now but she too rode big gears ,not quite what we are talking now but from what i can ascertain ,57x14 ,you should look her up ,she had a book out called personal best ,fantastic reading ,youll see her times and speeds which you wont beleive ,female ,houswife , child .worked on farm all day .no aero equipt ,part time rider

Nik Bowdler, which is where I got my Willy waving number from.

In all honesty I have 5 bikes hanging up all ready to ride which I do often, I could not tell you what size chain rings any have on them though.

52/36 on the helium and 50/34 on the other two.Of those two the icarus will go the same as the helium as i like that combo but dunno yet about the planet x,that may go to a single cx chainset.
