It’s ANOTHER one of those...hey guys first time racing dville classic on ss 29, love to know recommended gear ratio, I normally run 34-21 / 34-22 on Mtb and 42-17 on roadie. Areas normally ride in North Bay Area / Santa Cruz / Marin / East Bay.
32x20 is a good compromise. If you get a bad start, you will waste to much energy taking the bad line or track standing with the geared riders. Good luck!
Wow go for it! Have fun. It's a classic. I haven't rode an SS up there yet. Did the race a few times around the turn of the century with gears though, and many visits over the years.
Maybe one day I will build an "all-mountain" single speed. My SS bikes would cruelly punish me descending that course.
The race is on this weekend. I hope you come back with a ride report.
