Nice one cheers

Jesus christ I'm dumb sometimes, I meant 46/16, all these numbers and ratios are making my brain hurt (could also be my hangover too)

Even better I live just down the road near Lea Bridge roundabout, I'll let you know through here when I've got the funds (yes I am that broke at the moment that I have to wait for a spare fiver)

Sweet, 1st dibs on no.7 then please. Whereabouts are you based?

What would 46/20 be in GI? Only reason I'm asking is because I'm looking at buying the gold 46T sugino chainring in the classifieds and it doesn't seem like they do a 48T one (only quickly googled so please correct me if I'm wrong)

Are the no.7 bullhorn/cutdown bars flopped and chopped? If so you could you see how wide they are please?

46:18 = 63.6GI
48:18 = 66.4GI

You wouldn't really notice the difference. Both above would be a lot spinnier to what you're currently riding. You're better off changing the cog.

48:17 = 70.3GI
48:16 = 74.6GI
48:15 = 79.6GI

Nice one cheers!

I think I may just get a 17T and an 18T and try both out to see which will suit me best

Going up to 48T will be even harder to push...Not by much, but it'd be better to get a larger rear instead.

Um, I'm, already on a 48T, was wondering if there would be a major difference between going for a lower chainring or a higher cog

what bank holiday?

Glad it wasn't just me, what bank holiday indeed?

Right, time for me to jump in with my obligatory newbie question.

I am currently riding 48/16 which, whilst a lovely gear for riding on the flat, still leaves me struggling up some of the steeper hills. Obviously option 1 is always HTFU, however, I'm going to be getting a new chainring anyway so I could just be kind to my knees and buy an appropriately toothed one. What would be the difference between choosing between 46/18 or 48/18?

Um??

I have four words 'quick reply', 'multi-quote', 'quote' and 'reply'

Hi uncle fester

Care to introduce me? There's usually a button some sort and I can't find one...

I may very well have this off you, I won't have the money for about 3 weeks though. Would that be a problem if I placed dibs on this?

In retrospect 'I'm already stoned' would have been a much wittier retort

Get him stoned

By all means squire, be my guest

Ah yes, many a time it seemed a good idea to take the peaceful, less populated after pub ride down by the canal

'It'll be safer, there'll be no peds or cars around to crash into whilst I'm pissed out of my brain'

Also no lights hence much crashing into trees, riding into seemingly weak overhanging branches that weren't actually so weak that actually flung me backwards and off my bike as well as a few trips into the canal due to severe co-ordination loss or the one time I thought myself most observant "Mustn't go through that muddy puddle and get covered in shit, I'll just smoothly ride around it..........oh fuck I'm in the canal"

The ride from Walthamstow to Bow is quite nice, the paths are pretty mide most of the way with enough room for both peds and bikes and loads of good graff to view en route if you're into that sort of thing.

Bonjour people, newcunt alert
