Is that for cycling on a stationary roller ? With no air resistance, you can (if you are strong enough) use a humungous gear.

The only bikes I've seen chainrings that big on before are the ones used to set auto-paced speed records. You know, where the guy on the bike is drafting off of a race car.

I dont think I could sprint on that size gear ;)

Does anyone know how many teeth a chainring like this would have?

cheers!@
