I'm not sure where I would find that info. All I see is that it's Chromoly; but I think you're talking about something else.
At the moment I'm thinking of 52/19 fixed and 52/22 free for my flipflop. That puts me at 72.2 gear inches fixed (and 19 skid patches) and 62.4 gi free. I'll be riding this guy in both Portlands (PWM + PDX). Portland ME is built like a short ridge with a saddle, so I'll be going up decent grades most of the time. The PDX gearing threads all seem to agree on 67-75 gi fixed. It seems like a good setup; what do you guys think? Is that freewheel too low gearing, or will that be perfect for the days I get tired/lazy?
