Here's a tribute to the best bicycle gears ever.
If you don't agree, then post what you think are the two best chainring/cog combination.

It sucks.

Yup! I ride a 'bent. It's a compact long wheelbase Rans Tailwind. 20" wheels. Chainring is 42/52/62 and the cassette is 28-11. The granny climbs like a mountian bike and according to the math the high end should net 40 MPH at a cadence of 120. Of course that would be down a pretty decent hill. Even though it is heavier that my old Trek 1000 aluminum road bike it actually rides easier and is quicker off of the line at a stoplight. After only a couple of weeks I've been able to pretty much match the speeds of the road bike when I was at the equivalent level of conditioning on it. LOVE MY 'BENT.
