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.
"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:

anyone can claim anything... whether it's true or not
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.
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.
71.668 inches out of 48 18 on 700c, variable of course with tyre pressure and if I'm pulling any rad and fresh fixie trick stunt stops fixed track wheel belt drive look no seatbelt
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!
Stopping is rad and mega, it gives me a chance to show off my well sick track stands, comb my moustache or read some of my poetry to passing art students.
