I had my first singlespeed blast round nant today, in a blaze of rage last night I fitted my only singlespeed kit to my 456. I was running 32:18 and I have to say that it wasn't as bad as I had been expecting (still knackering though), might obtain a 17T or 16T at some point to really test me :D.

what ratio for uphills and on flat around oxenhope/hebdenbridge? (west yorks for you sutherners)

tom (taka) - what ratio for uphills and on flat around oxenhope/hebdenbridge? (west yorks for you sutherners)

what? are you planning on swapping your gear when you get to the top of the hill?

ratio depends on your fitness and how much you are willing to push

You don't need a bell if you have a pro 2 🙂

32:16

2:1 is a bit easy to be honest in normal places but in Calderdale it should be fine. I run 34:16 offroad on the East Lancs moors and that's great although I've found 38:16 with 700c wheels works well too.
