44/17 is great, i switched when i came to school in pittsburgh (i climb a 1/5 mile hill every day to my home) from my 42/15. when i go back to philly itll be 46/17 if i can find a chainring.

my pista just got in. but it has 16t cog. i might change it after awhile.

OK guys, I'm a retro grouch FG noob. I normally post over at C&V, but I recently did a ghetto FG conversion on a '78 Schwinn Traveler III, and set it up with 48 x 17. It seemed slightly tall for me, but it's relatively flat in Indy. I want to try something different. I have a 50/34 compact crank, and thought I would try a 34 x 13 or 34 x 14. Is there any advantage or benefit to big chainring over smaller one, or does it really matter? Is it aesthetics that drives the use of big ring?

I am going to buy a 17 tooth cog for my new Kilo TT Pro. I am not sure which size to buy, the 1/8 or the 3/32? Can anyone help me out? Also, I will not need a lockring correct?? THANKS

depends on your crankset its probably 1/8th. most fixed gears are

its whichever sugino crankset that comes on the TT Pro. the chain says its "1/8 or 3/32 NoChoice". so i guess either size will work??

amen.

Well, a 3/32 cog will work with a 1/8 chain or a 3/32 chain. a 1/8 cog will only work with a 1/8 chain.

49/17 should i go 49/18 or 49/19 for better braking.

either one are going to be "easier" than your current

awesome. i appreciate the help!

48x15-48x17 still catch a skid.

Im probably one of the few that rides 45/16
but i still clocked 39 yesterday haha spin2win

45x17 here.

I'm on 48x16 now, was 46x16 for a few months. I definitely like the 48x16 more.

Did you all miss the fact that this thread was resurrected from over 4 years ago??

39x15 & 46x16 brah!! spinnnzz

Literally making the same switch today.

ill give the b**** some zombie threads.
b****es love zombie threads.

Bringing an old thread back really isn't any worse than starting a new thread...IMHO.

Let's send it back where it came from.

Enjoyed the Cranberries...

Aren't they great?


Also my ratio is 48x17 which is the best ratio.

A friend of mine just posted this on facebook today. Weird coincidence.
