[RBW] Re: Gearing (was Getting Over My Head)

Well here's about the best article I found on the many possibilities of why his chain flew off the big ring going over such a relatively small bump. The bottom line is that nobody knows. "Stuff happens". My best guess is a wonky chainline part, as his model of bike is not spec'd as being

Larger diameter cogs and chainrings have less friction because the chain does not bend/wrap as much. Not sure how the angle between the front and rear impacts the overall friction. But lets say you have two single speed bikes - one is a 52-26 and the other is a 26-13 - same gear ratio. The

Patrick, Drew and everyone, Eurosport said it was a 44t chainring with a "pie plate" cassette" during the live broadcast, you can see it here :

Re: [RBW] Re: Gearing (was Getting Over My Head)

That 9 speed is very close to the home-brew 10 I'm using; simply add an outer 13 and 10 speed cogs, tho mine goes 19-20-22-25; the difference is minor. I'll have to remember that particular cassette. On Wed, May 31, 2023 at 10:47 AM Ken Yokanovich < reflector.collec...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am a

I am a big fan of the Shimano HG50 14-25 9 speed cassettes: (14-15-16-17-18-19-21-23-25T) paired with a 42T ring for a 1x drivetrain or 44/30 2x drivetrain On Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 12:55:27 PM UTC-5 Ted Durant wrote: > Hi All - > > Leah's "Getting Over My Head" thread seems to have

Re: [RBW] Re: Gearing (was Getting Over My Head)

Thanks, Drew. I watched the Twitter video; pretty steep even with a 1:1! I looked for a clip of Coppi or Bartali climbing similar cols in their 46 X 19 or whatever low gears were back then (someone told me but I can't find the email now) but couldn't find one in the first 5 minutes, so gave up.

Re: [RBW] Re: Gearing (was Getting Over My Head)

This article: https://road.cc/content/tech-news/primoz-roglic-uses-gravel-gearing-decisive-giro-tt-301511 Says he used the "XPLR-1271" from SRAM, which only offers a 10-44 (10,11,13,15,17,19,21,24,28,32,38,44) cassette, with even chainrings between 38 through 46, most likely a 44. I don't know

Re: [RBW] Re: Gearing (was Getting Over My Head)

Garth: Do you by any chance know what cog combination or what a typical cog combination would be for such a climb by a pro? I'll be he didn't use a 52 t inner cog and that he had a pretty close spread in the center of the cassette, but would be happy to be proved right or wrong by evidence. As to
