I came back one tooth on the fixed, so it's running at 15T with the stock
40 Sugino up front. That's kinda where it lives 95% of the time.
But the 32T is there, as well as the 18T
Hi All - just my two cents: I have two Quickbeams and use both often - one
in Oakland and one on the central coast. I am running Sugino 40/32 with a
white industries 17 in Oakland and 40/32 with a white industries 16 on the
coast. The Oakland set-up is nice and allows me to have a ball. I
I definitely have a used 172.5 XD2 triple, a used 40 tooth Sugino
chainring, and a new 32 tooth Willow chainring I'd sell.

People find practically free bike parts at "the bike co-op", or "the local
bike kitchen".
This is all really great input. The trouble I'm having is finding a
configuration out there (new or otherwise) that comes close to the Sugino
74/110 triple with the original 32/40/guard chainrings. Where would you go
to gather these parts?

I have an orange Quickbeam, which I bought new, with the original Sugino
74/110 triple with the original 32/40/guard chainrings. I immediately
removed the provided 18t freewheel and put on a White 17/19t Dos Eno. I
also put a 22 on the flop side of the flip/flop hub that Riv included with
the
Sounds like Winnipeg to me! Especially the stiff headwind bit. So for my
dodgy knees and 70+ years it's 18-19 tooth WI ENO and 36 tooth front on an
old XTR crank on my ancient but reliable early 70's PX-10 single speed
which works in said headwind but is probably undergeared otherwise.
@Max S
Bill, your description of the landscape near your Michigan office is even more true of northwest Ohio, Toledo more precisely. It’s this geography that has me thinking a Roaduno might be fun, be it 1,2 or 3 speed.Richard - in Toledo where the only “hill” is a stiff headwind.Sent from my iPhoneOn
Fair enough. On the simpler side I have a fixie at my office in Michigan,
where the biggest hill is a freeway overpass. On that bike (Crust Florida
Man) I run a Campy square taper road crank with a 39T ring and a chain
guard with a 16T fixed cog on a Surly Ultra New rear hub. There's a 16T
I should add that I always aim for as narrow of a Q-factor as I can get on
a set-up. The best has been an old Mavic 631 "Starfish" crank with a 39t
chainring, mated to the narrowest (103 or 107 mm) bottom bracket I could
find. The next best – by just a couple millimeters were Sun XCD and Rene
Any 110 BCD crank like Sugino or S!lver would do the trick nicely, perhaps
a 38T and pant guard paired to a 17t (flat area) or 18t (hillier area)

Very creative. Personally looking for simpler, streamlined inspiration, but
these are nice options you're running.

I run a Riv Silver triple with 40/37/34 chainrings on my Quickbeam. I
modified a rare and unusual Shimano cassette hub to fit 120 OLD. On that I
run three Problem Solvers cassette cogs at 16/19/22. As a result I have
three single speed "gears" with three chain positions, all with the same
