Just out of interest, what front ring size do you run?

33 with 32/11 at the back

32

32 on one bike, 36 on the other. If it was an everything bike, 32 I recon (I don’t miss the upper gears)

Are we up to this being a daily question yet or is it still only weekly ?

Sorry to have disturbed your otherwise perfect existance.

48…………(On the commuter) 🙂

34/11-32

36 was slightly too hard for me

34 front, 11-36 rear.

Thanks all…

34 front – 32/11 rear

Does it feel “gappy” in the ratios?

34/11-32

36.

30

“Does it feel “gappy” in the ratios?”

Not at all. You miss some ratios at the top and bottom from time-to-time. Which ones depends on your fitness,the terrain your on, and the duration of your ride. My rides are up hills <350m and are rarely longer than 3 hours.

I’m running 1×10 which is 34t with 11-36 and I like it. When I’m on the road I’d like another gear at times but the off-road stuff is more than covered ok

33 x 11-32 on a 29er !

32t / 11-32

32 x 11-32

Will probably go to 34 when I eventually change to 10 speed with a 11-36 cassette.

40 x 25-12 on-one scandal 9speed 😉

or 28-11 for hillier terrain

36 with 11-36, suits me, wouldn’t want smaller.

32 with 11-36 when I run gears on my 29er, with cheapo superstar chain device works very well.

34 11-34

Does everything I need

32T with an 11-36 cassette.

Got low enough gears still for just about anything that way still (as long as I get out the saddle and honk), and only run out of gears at the top end on downhill sections on road.

Got a 36T kicking about too, might try it soon see if I can manage that up all my normal climbs.

32 x 11-32 on my 29er

34 36/11

Here is my setup 34t upfront 11-36t out back awesome !
