What's your wildest Gear Ratio ?

[Deleted member 40597]

Schlumpf HSD/Rohloff combo running 36/16 gives me 11.5 gear inches in lowest gear, and 154.1 gear inches in the highest.

I'm assuming trikes aren't included in this?

I don't see why not, as long as people say is it's a trike.

Although the fact this is in the fixed gear / singlespeed forum may give a clue that ranges of gears are not really allowed.

Do some trikes have fixed gears?

Not being flippant - just naturally curious

Yes, plenty do. But fixed gear'ed bikes and trikes do not have a range of gears.

[QUOTE 4877077, member: 9609"]that is some range - my 52/39 driving a 32/14 gives e 32.5 to 99.2 gear inches (I probably never use greater the 77 gear inches).

I would imagie 11.5 gear inches would get you up a big hill fully loaded (if you could keep balance at such low speeds, 88 cadence to do 3 mph)[/QUOTE]
I think he's on a trike.

Apologies. I hadn't noticed thread location within the forum.

I was too polite to mention it
