What's your favourite gear ratio?

Ha, phallus.

"...I'm enjoying it. :) "

Me too! Let alone the thread as a whole; no development, no evolution whatsoever, no one has ever changed their mind on this subject since 2007... What is there not to love?

You could turn them backwards.

I think the only fallacy here is you guys talking theory and belief...

Oh shit... baby otters!

*I'll be good, I'll be good... Promise!

No, You're phallus-y

don't fuck wit science.

But surely without proof, you are talking theory and belief too. We are trying to base ours on varying grasps of physics, you are basing yours on a grasp of what your legs felt.

Is it getting warm in here?

It's that otter picture, warms the cockles.

otter cums on self

Must spread rep before protecting james from the impending nergpocalypse again.

I'm basing my $0.02 on performance.

Measured performance?

10cc is usual for a human being, not sure about a jizzyotter

If results count as measured performance, then yes.

Anecdotes aren't evidence.

I'm basing my $0.02 on performance.

No, you're basing it on what a bloke told you.

Results as in repeated timings, or results as in beating some other guy?

i am waiting for 2 things

tester's response

and more importantly, Alfie to animate the otter with lightning jizz

I was a kid. I did what my coach told me. My performance improved. I started to win my fair share of the prize money and even top spot occasionally.

In my little world, simples.

Tl;dr

If anything, surely a larger chainring/cog combo (GI being equal) would give more responsive acceleration, due to it running smoother?

bigger cogs - more chain - more friction.
smaller cogs - more movement in chain - more friction.

Tl;dr

fuck all in it.

at the end of the day, I'm still 3 stone overweight. I'm more concerned with that slowing me down than the ammount of teeth in my drivetrain....
