Track gearing
 

Hey all-

What gearing do you recommend for the track? I'm currently running 45x16 for commuting and alleycats, but want to build something track specific. I have another 16t cog (brand new philwood) that I would like to use. I was thinking 52t?

48x15 to start.

Uh, a lot more than one gear.

arent you supposed to have a warm up gear and a running gear? also different gears for different tracks?

To start, one gear is fine. Although [MENTION=283703]GENESTARWIND[/MENTION] is right, you'll want a warmup gear, specifically if you'll be at Kissena.

go to the velodrome and track racing area on here. Those guys are helpful.
plan on spending a lot of money.

yeah wrong forum

Jesse Shotland strikes again.

aaaaand new signature.

Tried finding that, but couldn't. Is it somewhere it shouldn't be?

I only have one side threaded on my rear hub. Good to see you're still alive. How's your Kilo?

Track Cycling: Velodrome Racing and Training Area

thanks- what's the navigation for that?

Shoot for like 85gi. Small enough to spin, big enough for a decent top end.

Yeah I'm alive, this place just blows. Kilo is gone.

85, awesome thanks. Something to work with.

This place does blows. I saw on you pedal room.. What happened? No more velodrome for you?

Perfection.

Eh, changing interests.

i love a 52 chainring but your back cog u need to have a few i would say have a 14,15,16 but what you have to start is not bad. its something you have to play with and find what works best for you.

I knew someone would appreciate that.



I forgot to ask about your Caad10 too. Are you just leaving cycling all together?


Thanks man, Will get the 52!

Nah, just downgrading. Don't need that much bike.
