I'm not really sure how far I could throw a measurement but probably not far.

sorry...46x16, 700x23. rabbit says 75.6gi, just under 190rpm. pardon f'ing me.

it was neither pretty nor extended.

If you were doing 188rpm, that is impressive.

I did 38mph (downhill) with 42x16 gearing - that is about 183 rpm. It wasn't pretty.

I do the same speed on the track with 48x14 gearing, which brings me down to ~140rpm.
