LOL at all the comments. This frame would make a nice beater/commuter.

I speak from experience when I say this but if you continue running gear ratios that high you will have no knees left.
You will become a faster rider eventually if you lower your ratio, learn to spin an develop a good pedal stroke, it will also be a lot easier on the knees.

wtf skid stop with 53/17 ratio. sorry I dont believe it.
Posted over 11 years ago
53/17 is all right to skid on. I'm on 49/15 now and I have seen gnarly skids on 50/15 too. It's a matter of "educating" your muscles I guess.

Skidding on 53x17 is fairly easy.... I run 55x16 and it take time to get used to the ratio and also skiding with it.... Say that my ratio is too big? Well I myself can push it up hills and maintain the skids as i go. I can handle the ratio i am at... But yeas 53x17 is a fair ratio to be skidding on... n its how you feel as you ride...

Why do people use such high gear ration in Hawaii?
Posted over 11 years ago
I love my current ratio. It's fast and I can skid stop quite well going at high speeds. Though if I go any higher I won't be stopping at any lights, that's for sure.

mostly flat ground in hawaii. and what zeb said is also true.

the kids in hawaii don't ride high ratios, their fat chainrings are useless with their larger cogs in the back. It's all relative I guess, but my 48-15 is harder than his 53-17. Not all hawaii riders do this, but a lot do. It's Tarck there, and flat. +1 zeb.

cause a majority of the hawaii fixed scene is little hype beast that have to be trendy.

I ride 48-15 on the regular here too. Shit, I can sit skid stop going sub 22mph and that's a fact. A big chainring doesn't make you faster

Sexy build! Love the slammed wheel, the chain could use a little more slack though!

Right! He needs to take the fork off and stomp on it. Thing comes with either 40 or 45mm of rake... Tark!
