Whats up riderx? Long time no see!!!
I've got a 39/16 on my commuter SS. I also ride it off road, but the 36/19 is a little tough for that. Even on teh road, I'm not spinning as fast as I'd like to. I may go for a 39/18 and see how that works. Whatever ratio I use, I have to keep it 2:1 plus an odd number. Like right now it's 2:1 plus 7, with 39/18 it would be 2:1 plus 3. Having and odd number seems to keep the chain tension right with out having to go to a tensioner.
