@50voltphantom I'm about to switch to your gear ratio 39/19 from an 18. Hoping it speeds things up a bit on the really twisty home course.
Yeah, 38/39 up front works well. I did all but one race using 38:19 last year and use the 39 for general riding during the week. Yeah, I know, one tooth, but 38:19 is soooo damn spinny if I'm on the street for any length of time, the 39 makes it bearable.
