When I changed to the smaller diameter 26" wheels on my Mixer 8 I have found that my gearing has changed also, I can push a bigger gear now, I have already geared the bike down a lot, stock it is 39T x 18T I'm running 39T x 23T. I seem to remember someone, (Tim S ?) saying that for Fixie or Single Speed you should have one odd and one even number for your chainring cog set up, something about chainwear etc. Is that right?
I have a 22T rear cog on hand, so I could easily swap it out and then run a 39T x 22T set up, this would not affect the gearing much, might put me right back to where I was with the 700C tyres verses the 26" tyres I have now.
So is that they way to go, one odd number of teeth and one even number of teeth?
Cheers!
