Personally when I raced Scratch / points gearing was always below 100". Biggest would be 98" and that was indoors at Masters Nationals with a big field of the strongest Masters. Club racing outdoors at the start of the season with poor fitness and small fields I would be as low as 90"!
100" range, + or - a few inches for flying 200's and sprint rounds......98" at Master Nationals is what I was looking for in terms of mass start gearing. Didn't want to go out for the 1st race in a 92" and be spit out the back after 5 laps and didn't want to put on a 102" and realize I was over geared.....I'm thinking 96" will be a great starting point and then I can adjust up or down accordingly.
