I ran the whole of this winter between 32/19 & 32/20. I’m circa 85ish KG….some lighter folks around here go down to 32×18 or lower…I ran 32/18 for 2 weeks and ended up with rather inflamed knees so when back to wimpish ratios!
These ratios worked well on full fat (3.8 & 4.0rear x 4.8front) and plus fat (650bx3rear & 29x3front). Rolling diameters between fat 4.0 & 650bx3 are negligible IMO.
Our hills here in sunny Glasgow (mugdock) were all relatively short but punchy so all ‘just’ about doable depending on your willingness to burst a lung or two! I have to get out of the saddle for all such climbs.
For me SS was fine for anything up to a 2.5hr ride…anything longer than that and I was burst. Summer rides means I’m back on the Rolloff and going out for longer trips but missing the lightish rear end flickability.
