Ok, I admit it!

So I changed the gearing on the SS to 32 up front and 14 in the back and let me tell you, I started crying climbing up those hills!! and I didn't even do the steeper ones!!

I bet that gearing would be fun on the Fully Loop, except for those couple of short climbs.

i believe on that frame you are running, 32:17 is the "magic ratio" to run w/o a tensioner... too many steep climbs where i ride to run that... i'm barely making it up the hills as it is

Yeah, 32:17 is the magic number, but I got 32:14 to work so I am sticking with it until it gives me problems. Right now I am the one giving the bike problems
