I'm with some of the others here....I have mine set up with 39x36 rings and the 16-19 This allows me a 36x19=51" 39x16=66" and I think I can use it the other way too.....but I don't. I don't have the axle changing position on the dropout and I get a mid low and a mid high gear. I plan on a 22 tooth freewheel for the flop side later and may go with a 30x38 up front as I live in the foothills of Mt. Rainier and am old and fat. The 16-18 freewheel is actually a nice combo and with even spaced teeth it works out better with the stock 40x32 IMHO. The white 18 tooth heavy duty trials model is the one to get if you want a single cog freewheel. Finding a gear you can live with 80% of the time is tricky but for me and my terrain that works out to something between 60-68 inches. It is nice to have the....headwind / hill / I'm really pooped....gear when you need it though. I once did an experiment to see if I could ride my local hilly 15 mile ride using the 51" only and I did it just fine....it was a grunt up the hills and a spin, spin coast on the flats but it worked fine. I can easily spin along at 10-13 mph in that gear and still make it up a decent climb. The 66" is a little rough starting in traffic but once moving its the gear to have if you want to ride at a more normal pace. I would get the 16-18 and later get a 22 if I were to do it over again. This gives you a 39,48,60 and 68 if my memory is correct and is about all you need.
