Currently in the early stages of building up another 26er SS.

I am currently running my 29er with 32/18 for places like Cannock etc and 32/16 for commuting and local rides.

So would a 32/14 on the 26er be similar as a 32/16 on the 29er?

Also any pics of your SS for inspiration

59.4 gear inches for the 26er Vs the 29er @ 54 gear inch

it’s pretty damn close -I think you’ll bearly notice the diff.

Aye, it seems to be the basic rule that 32:16 on 26″ wheels will feel pretty much the same as 32:18 on 29″ wheels.

if you can pedal 32:14 up steep hills on a 26 er then respect to you.32 :16 is about 50″ iirc

hey bernard what 29er you running?

Mollski, currently got a slotted On-one Scandal.
Did have it rigid, but put suss forks on for my holiday and have not took them off.

I have a 18t and a 16t on the rear. Takes 5 mins to swap and doesn’t change the chain line too much either.

I’m running 32:16 on my 29er currently but probably going to 32:17 shortly.

[tangent] Bernaard, bike on holiday picture at Bedruthan Steps? Mmmmmm, Noooorrrrth Cooooorrrrrnwallll…. [/tangent]

32:16 on my Love/ Hate..

Perfect for around here.. ( Cheshire)

32/16 on my 69er Kona Unit, seems to work on most things I’ve ridden, fully rigid twas great fun at CwnCarn

Actually, its Watergate Bay.

Gonna go for the 32/14 as the bike is for local North Warwickshire stuff, which doesn’t really have steep stuff and for commuting.

Very nice Love/hate BTW
