Hey I just got a new to me Specialized Tricross Singlecross and am going to put a bunch of parts on that I have had for a build. I am just wondering what gearing anyone has found best suited.
thanks
Jim

Depends on legs and course.
Try low 60s to high 50s to start with. Pick a chainring that let’s you do this without needing 20t freewheels
Hi jim, run the one that’s on it it was fine. enjoy.
Round the city/commute: 46x17/18
Racey times: 38/18
I would second 38/18 for racey times.
I use 42/17 around town.
38 and 42 both fit nicely on 130bcd cranks. 17/18t cogs give you lots of options.
