Q. Single speeds
46tooth : 18 rear ? Gear inches of 69 ?? Or a 46t : 20t - 62 inch
Considering a fixie / single speed
My options are easy spin and comfortable on 10% climbs
My steelie x1 is 46t but with an 11/42 cassette hence the question

So that’s a few 100’s factored for the new season… Now any 200’s in my area / need to add the green 500 to my badge collection - only a few from the B2000 - so that’s within easy reach now too - then onto the B3000 - these badges are addictive!!

Oh boy - I’ve started mapping out the 2026 mini Normandy tour by bike (obviously) .. my eldest son is keen to ride it with me / I yet to have a house pass I suspect many many many brownie points will need to be scored - along with juggling time re Audax’s so could be an interesting period of time

Don’t shoot me but what’s the harm in running a 2x ring as a 1x
Or should I just buy a 1x oval 46th for the steelie that I’m converting - it has a 42th oval at present and I spin out on the roads .. hence the 46 … like oval re the feel on the x1

Am I the only one that thinks the cheaper Sciroccos look ‘more’ expensive than the actual Zondas that are £££ lots more than the Sciroccos
Bike set up with the Sciroccos for autumn use - will probably be putting the Zondas back on for next weekend’s mendips … but leaving the raceblades on

So this Sunday I’m riding for the UK’s Hampshire Air Ambulance - a nice wee imperial 100 miler
Leaving Sparsholt college heading to the coast using two ferries to enable a ride around the Isle of Wight and then ride back up through the New Forest …
Here’s to the weather gods behaving 🚴👍🏼
