MW and I have discussed this a bit in a couple of posts and now it's available for discussion on MTBR; if you are riding a bike Single Speed across Iowa, what gear are you going to run? Thoughts? Opinions? Could the proper gear choice earn you Endurance Cyclist of Year?
What Would Dejay Do?
By the way, predictions from Mr. 24 are that the race fills up in an hour. If you are racing Cross and want to make sure you get registered, let me know. Sam, I am looking at you.

The gear that works for you.
So are you doing TI or no?
How about 36 x 15? Too big?
I don't know nothin bout no gear?
but that's a great picture.
i've never run anything faster/larger than 2:1 on my 29er. and i've walked some gravel climbs with that gear. i might have a 36x17 on hand but i can't imagine wanting more then that. hmm.
Ti? I already have ti bikes. Oh! Trans Iowa, yeah sign me up. Long story though, we'll have to talk at X-MAXX.
Less gears more beers. Fortunately Wills is also covered in the really fucking pink category as well. Give yourself a shot for every 15 miles, the race will fly by and by the time you reach the finish line you'll probably be blanketing everyone around you with insults. It will be great.
22.5 shots for the race.
There's a sign that I have a problem. Not because of the booze, but because I did the math.
does a profile map exist of the course? a weenie thing i'm sure, but that could make someone feel more comfortable about their gear choice. if they only have one. what if you ride fixed? ask Rudi sock23.com
registration opened early!!! get on over there!!!
I'm in, DON'T sign me up Skip.
Oh shit, did I just say I'm in?
Dammit Sam, I was going to sign you up as a Christmas present. Now I have to fucking shop.
Just buy me some E-Caps, I'll be needin some of those.
