I select my gears, then choose the mix of rings and cogs I need to get
them. For a "gofast" road bike ("fast is very relative) I like a 65", 70",
ad 75" right in the middle of the cogset. If I can get close steps with a
~40" low and a ~80-to-90" high, I'm happy.
On my erstwhile Ram I got these gea
I just swapped out to a 46-38-24 w 12-28 7spd on my go fast, from a
50-38-26 &11-28 as a winter project. I felt like the 50t was overkill and I
was swapping cranks for other reasons so I thought I'd give it a try. I
don't have any real riding time on this setup yet but on a steep downhill I

So long as we're on the topic of go-fasts... what front chainring setups
are people using? I've been eminently satisfied w/ the standard Riv'ish
setup of a ~46-36-23ish on triples and am very happy w/ my 45 1x on my
Saluki... But given that I'm limited to a 5 spd rear on my 120mm rear OLD

The only reason he grew the beard longer is for the air drag so the rest of the
peloton could keep up.

I went fast today on my hunqapillar with clothes in the rear panniers in
case the road allowed me to climb higher before turning into packed slick
ice that I never ever trust drivers on, especially on a steep curvy canyon
road. Turned around and went really fast on my underinflated 2.1" Thunder
I love my go fast bike, which is my Roadeo. I did not ride it last night
outside, but rather have it hooked up to a stationary trainer in the house,
which I rode for an hour. Winter is my mountain bike time and I stuck a
trainer tire on the Roadeo for a month or two until it warms a little. I

Robin Williams said that riding a bike was the closest you could get to
flying. On a nice back road with no cars around I definitely agree.

rode up the canyon today and was treated to two red tailed hawks riding the
thermals. I thought to myself that's what I feel like on this bike, like

Patrick,
My go fast or slow fast is my Roadeo. With the 28 Grand Bois Cerfs, I can
wander off road once in awhile and not lose anything on pavement. The other
thing is that I am so tuned to the Riv handling that other brands just do
not inspire me.
