all threads 53-11 seem to have been purged from the database.
he doesn't seem to exist in the road cycling forum either.
may i take this opportunity to say "woot"?

I think it simply got to the point were he was no longer an asset to the forum, and we were losing quality members because of his BS. It was good timing, the same day I decided to put 53-11 on global ignore, he decided to give up his username. His current signature reads "53-11.........Yes, I was the biggest troll on Bike Forums. But I learned a lot....Thank you. I appreciated all your good insight in matters regarding cycling.".
His posts will be back, but not in the next week or so...

The TGSFC was the best for sure.

I say let this rock rest on the bottom. No reason to bring the posts back. We'd be using up valuable MERTON space potential

about the gears...the short version is that you want numbers that are relative primes.
if you want to make it even easier, just aim for having a chainring that is either 43 or 47 teeth (both prime numbers) and you'll get the maximum of 'skid spots'
