Very nice. Agree with post about larger 700C tires (e.g. 40mm, 45mm, etc.) for those of use who commute on trails too. Excellent easy-to-use interface.

It's great that the page allows a user to cut and paste a URL with settings specific to the user's bike. For example, this is my favorite commuter (a Surly LHT with 26inch x 2.0 tires) with a fairly typical commuter drive-train.

Thanks for making this calculator public.
