thanks for link. my friend runs 46/16 and i can see him pushing really hard on uphill and he just relax downhill + he rides brakeless and uses his shoes to stop the bike by putting it on the rear wheel. so good to know.

no lol only a 5'8 137 lbs. i think i am just fit. i just play ball the whole summer and bike to parks and just ride a lot. since i'm riding hybrid the old school bike have highest gear ratio for mountain bike like 48/14 unless u change the rear cog. but i think most of them come with 14-24 or 14-28 cassette.
what type of bike u ride and your gear ratio??

In order for the gear ratio that you have to be efficient you would have to be averaging at least 27.5 mph. I couldn't even max out a hybrid that fast. For the answer to your question, you really should look at the uncle sixty thread. Most of the people on this forum have gear ratios that are sensible. If they don't we start to make fun of them.

I really doubt the OP has a av speed of 27mph.
If by workout you mean "wrecking my knees" then yes, you are doing that.

What the **** is up with the people starting threads the past few weeks? Somebody should run the idea of an IQ test to post on BF by Tom.

best way to stop btw.
if he is indeed running 26 inch wheels with 1.5" tires, and 46/16 - isnt he just at 72 GI?
as hilarious as this whole situation is, that unfortunately makes sense to me
/edit: nvm, its his friends bike...MAD frictions yo.
