Not content with steel, you went to tractor wheels then ti with tractors now odd tractors and wobbly bars. Your nothing but an attention seeking whore

what gearing? i've just built one up and not sure what to do right now.. i have 36:18 which i find just about bearable on the flat (i.e. i'd prefer to move faster but it'll do!) but is hard work on the steeper stuff.. but i'm not sure i could deal with the spinning required if i go any lower.

haven't really tried it on a proper ride out yet though.. but dicking around central edinburgh's various small lumps has been excellent!

but the rear wheel is a 26er isn't it? why not 32:16? Always liked the look of those.

so *consults* that would be the same as 36:20, 2 extra teeth, quite a difference!

i suppose i just have to experiment.

Needs a rigid fork to tick another niche off.
Then drop bars, & a fixed cog.
