I echo other people's recommendation to run a Dos Eno or a Surly Dingle
cog. I have two rings and a Dingle cog on my Quickbeam, giving a one tooth
difference in the two gears. 39/44 x 17/21. I have fenders on the bike, so
it's nice to not worry about fender line anymore, or trying to flip the

I don't own a QB/SO/Frank Jones, but used the same approach as Deacon
Patrick described to try different gear ranges in a more traditional
horizontal track end and keep axle movement as minimal as possible. My
frame also had more limited tire clearance but when using a Surly dingle
cog for fix
Still running it. Grin. 44/34 x 17/21 (fixed gear Surly Dingle cog), yields
44x17=71" and 34x21=44". Keep in mind that's geared up for fixed.
With abandon,

Thanks Patrick
I forgot about that.
What sort of gearing numbers did you run on your off road QB?

You can get wider gear inch spread with a smaller tooth spread if you use a
flip-flop hub or a White Industries DosEno freewheel. Then you run little
cog with big chain ring, big cog with little chain ring.

8-tooth is the max I could get, and that was with 700x33 tires. Larger
tires reduced the achievable spread because they can't move as far forward
between the chainstays.
