I'm guessing its 32T? (9speed).
Depends if you are running single ring - some specialist threaded offset 30t rings around for 1x
It depends on your chainset, down to 28T I think. I'd guess even lower would be possible with the splined >X7 cranks.
Its a single ring set up. I can't be bothered with a front mech/faff.
The chainset is a latest gen Saint triple.
yeah front mechs are so complicated, best make the bike less rideable.
I ride 1x9 in the Peaks not girlyman south east riding my fishy-friend. I prefer the simplicity.
Cant get latest Saint as a triple.

Oops I'm behind the times already- its a MKII.
the only thing simple about 1x9 is the owner.

Not sure what your BCD is but spa cycles is where I'd start looking.
Raceface 30t thick-thin for 9/10/11 speed.

Wont you spin out a lot with one under 32t?
no, he won't.

this is a man who suggested a 22:16 SS. 😯
tom? how are you?
I'd only spin out on flats- I don't ride anywhere flat, most of the riding is climbing with descents in between- if I pedalled in the descents I'll pedal strike so 1x9 is a perfect compromise.
If I lived somewhere like the south east I'd run a bigger ring naturally. Don't forget you also have the rear cassette to play with as well.
it's a wonder DH riders don't just have pegs and ditch the whole chain, sprocket thing altogether.
especially to avoid all those pesky pedal strikes.
Do you have a positive contribution or are you angry about something?

Yeah THAT'S the reason why you aren't pedalling!

Paging Stopadoodledoo!

I'd say it's time of the month... 😯
yes john, that's correct, it's my menstrual cycle that has alerted me to the hora bullometer that has gone off the scale.
pedal strikes indeed.
how is bingo btw hora?
[i]how is bingo btw hora? [/i]
bit of a low blow there if you already know the answer.
no, i don't... but now i'm guessing the answer, it was a toss up between making a comment about his wife, his convertible or his dog...
This is going well.. 😯 has he shagged your mrs or something?
no, but he did ride off and leave me with a mate who had concussion on the surrey hills once (i didn't know where i was). it was important he made it back in time to go to John Lewis you see.
That's raw...
the prawns off....biscuit anyone?
Ah... the much utilised John Lewis clause. It sounds like its made a good few appearances over the years, that one. On one occasion its been invoked within 10 minutes of leaving the car park, on the first climb 😆
yeah he's pretty awesome to be around.
the prawn is back 😯
how is bingo btw hora?
surely it's hora bingo?
Prawn I've rattled you haven't I. Is your bottom lip quivering?
😆 Yet another hora classic. Say something about his momma next shrimp.
32/36 (on a 10spd cassette) should give you the same as 30/34 (on a 9spd cassette).
and both work equally well in car parks

Hora on a middle ring only, I cannot wait to see your climbs legs unleashed
I've been told I have to be nice to you, or I'll be banned for life again.
I find you an odd character. About 4times I've had to respond/explain myside to 'that day' along with the picture of me pushing a bike post-hospital stay. You must be late 30's now. Back on chocolatefoot I went through a bad phase (unfair dismissal/followed by a injury/hospital stay and a crisis of confidence). I avoided anti depressants/tranquilisers. If you know anyone whose been in a dark place you take a real knock. Still I received shit. Really really wearing. Peace.
It's a pity people aren't as lovely as flowers, isn't it?
i take the piss outa hora but this is bang out of order
Woah - ask a reasonable question and take a shed load of flak ( not even good natured flak) , got to love stw! Come on Prawn surely you can't still bear that much of a grudge you need to wash your dirty knickers in public! Think I'm going to take hora's side here and see how the next 10 pages of abuse turns out before the mods close the thread!
what rob said
Was it the pedal strike thing or not knowing his dog was dead that's offended you so much?
The user names change but the attitudes don't.
How do you know that his dog is dead?
I seem to remember him saying that he had to have a westie rehomed as it didn't take well to the arrival of his child?
Can we hear more as to what he did to offend you so?
Do not feed the troll
The dog is dead. Wtf? I'm out. Too ****ing weird.

Aw look, it's given that froggie a big hug.
This thread is like a Bernard Manning comeback gig:
People go on about how funny he used to be back in the old days, but you just can't see it and eventually feel a bit sick.
Aw look, it's given that froggie a big hug.
In a 'Lennie from Of Mice And Men' stylee...
