I've pulled the trigger on a beautiful silver Quickbeam, so Lord willing and the creek don't rise it should be here in a few weeks. I have a few questions as I gear up for her arrival...
Knobbie Tire: Talking with Riv., they suggest I can go with up to a 40mm knobbie and still be able to swap rings in front. I'll be on dirt roads and trails mostly, with some unavoidable sections of pavement. What do you all recommend? Both size and specific tire. Gearing: I plan on riding the stock gearing first, but what do you all recommend here for essentially a single speed cyclocross setup? Obviously, I'll have to become a stronger rider, and have already started that on my rides by not shifting down as much. I did well on today's 10 mile ride in 36/21, and my understanding is the low ring is 32, so possibly a Surly dingle cog, 17/21? I heard if you have even teeth up front you should have even teeth in the back, is that true? Thanks! The bike therapy continues!
