80 inches is my "too big to climb, too small to keep up with geared buddies" all-around gear. I prefer a 70 to 74 inch gear for riding by myself. In the next couple days there will be a churning of the chainrings, and the Quickbeam will probably get a 42t ring.
The bars are original 80s-era WTB dirt drops. Still my favorite, but I happily run/rock* the Midges and Woodchippers on other bikes. Philip www.biketinker.com *Is "rub" still a joke?
