well tj uses ALL of his so i say yes

I run 36t up front to a 7 speed 14-32 (11-32 9 speed with the 2 smaller cogs removed for better chainline).

I don’t need or want for anymore gears, and I ride the Peaks on a regular basis. But then I’ve ridden singlespeed for years so my riding style is more suited to stomping my way through.

Maybe you have a 3rd pedal for your willy to help on the tricky bits?

I take it you’ve put a spacer behind the largest cog?

Why bother?

You clearly have the gears you need, and if you ever ride anywhere else you’ll have extra options.

At 15.5 stone I’d call most people fat. I suspect you’ll now say it’s muscle, but your 50% heavier than me, ergo I think you’re fat.

well that’s quite a statement considering you’ve never met me. so using the same principal, if you are (as you claim) less than 8 stone i’d say you were ‘underdeveloped’ and probably have the body of a small girl.

Actually Stan, I think you’ll find he’s a macho 10 stone at least
