According to the Gear Inch calculator....
My 28/9 bmx is running at ~51GI which doesn't feel too bad for booting around the neighbourhood.
Both my Single Speeds are running 42/16 on 700/25's at ~69GI. I ride them mostly on flat paved roads keeping a steady cadence.
I like the look of the 44/16 combo on the Race bmx bikes but the GI is very similar to my current 28/9 so not sure if I'm gaining anything but aesthetics......or am I missing something?
