    Just read through this thread, and I've gotta say that it's pretty pathetic.

    I've been working as a courier for around half a year, and I have a higher gear ratio then anyone on here. I thought you were supposed to get stronger, not weaker.

    "I have a higher gear ratio then anyone on here. I thought you were supposed to get stronger" Keep increasing your gear ratio for another ten years and let us all know what the state of your knees are or how far you can walk, if at all.

    from a pevious thread started by ZeroEmissions:

    "That said, I put myself forward for riding a 31lb bike on 26 inch mtb wheels."

    Does this mean you have gears? We are talking about riding one gear...
    As for pathetic, anyone whos reaction to hearing about someones bike getting stolen is:

    "Serves her right for not locking the bike!"

    Well...

    I hope you're right. Rookie on the road pushing a higher gear than everyone... on a 31lb mountain bike. No real person could make that claim.

    "No real person could make that claim."

    anyone can claim anything... whether it's true or not :wink:

    no idea what gear i'm pushing atm, due to the utter fucking stupidness of my bike i'm not so sure about strapping up my 50t ring. probably on a 44-16??? maybe??? does it really matter? the whole "i ride the biggest gear" willy waving schtick is pretty painful to watch, even if you don't get the seized knees (what happened to nomoreknees?) comeuppance, you're still a cunt.

    Larry used to ride, slowly, a 56x15, or thereabouts, on circuit in Bristol. Biggest courier, biggest gear, and a tailor made excuse for walking up all the hills.

    Hello, It' the Zero Emissions Edition.

    JP, Check the date on my post you quoted. I was riding a 31lb bike on 26 inch mtb wheels for the first six months or so of working as a courier.

    I only recently got a racing bike, with said gear ratio.

    And yes, I've outraced you all. I did even on a mountain bike.
  9.  
    The bike i have is a steel frame. It did at one point have gears but the rear derailleur got fucked.
  10.  
    I counted em and I got 52 at the front and 15 at the back. And I'm about 5'7 tall and weight maybe 120 pounds. But I have cooked breakfast before work and I take cod liver oil every day.

    My gain ratio, according to Sheldon, is 5.5. I don't know what that is though.

    Was on 48-17 pushing out 74.26" for a long time but it eventually started to hurt my knees. Fast once I got going but a bit too sluggish for stoppy-starty traffic-dodgy riding, now on typical 46-17.

    'I counted em and I got 52 at the front and 15 at the back.'

    91.17 gear inches? Jesus, if that's the gear you ride around in how big is your penis? It must be huuuuuge!
