Is 2:1 magic ? Is it where human muscle power and twitch speed reach harmonic convergence ?

Brandon is the only person I know running 2:1 and climbing long steep stuff.
Most of us in So-Cal run something easier.

Find me a steep downhill and I'm sure that I could do a 2:1 too

I know a lot of guys that run 2:1, but they're freekin mutants or young and are a lot stronger then me. I wish I could run 2:1. Ain't going to happen though, these ol knees just can't handle the abuse.

I finally voted in my own poll. I vote 2:1 is magic.
Had to spend my money on something today. So I gathered the goods to go 2:1. It worked with even chainlinks no tension device on my vertical dropouts. Hmmm good start. Then I ride . Take off on hills strait out the gate. It did not seem that much harder to stay on top of the gear. Technical climb obstacles were easier with the added momemtum. There was enough gear to do wheelie kick step offs with greater ease. Saddle speed maintain to climb was easier because I could get on the pedals sooner. I found myself flying over the top of some of them as I got the hang of it. Never done those things with the lesser ratio I was running.
