Gearing for flatland use
For a bike with a granny wheel in front and 9 speeds out back (don't
know the cog count) and flatland use what gearing would you suggest? I think of myself as a pedal masher. I'm considering sora or a tiagra cassette unless you have another suggestion. weight is not important, durability of the drivetrain is. tnx |

Or a SRAM cassette, see what your LBS stocks; all work fine. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

what you have is-what is your course ? the 4 middle gears shift up or
down in teeth, as a group, depending on the desired course. |

I mean, that's how you make the bike go, isn't it? You have to push on the pedals, right? :-) I use a Shimano HG80 11-28 9-speed, stay on the big ring for all but the most egregious climbs, and the 28-tooth is used as a pie plate to protect the spokes (don't go there except once in a while to make sure it's still there). Front sprockets are twenty-something small ring (don't go there either), 36-tooth middle ring (I think it is - used all the way down to the 24 cog for the egregious climbs), and 48-tooth big ring. On flat ground I never shift off the big ring, except when parking, and live most of the time on the 12-13-14 cogs. If I know I'm going to have to stop, I will grab the 16-tooth cog. If I'm not sure I'll have to stop, I stay in the 14. I like the one-tooth jumps. |
