About to place the order for my crankset and cog. Wanna to ask those that commute and ride around town, what's your gear combo? I was thinking 48T crankset and 16cog, or 18cog.
I'm not good with ratio numb sorry.
Any advice?
Thanx

46/16 serves me well, I like where I am, it's a good mid ground.

ideally and better for your knees which is important in the long run is a lower gear inch setup.
i run 52/19 which is about 71, ive ran 48/17 and had knee discomfort here and there, yes i could push it and was fast and i could climb but whats it matter if my knees hurt?
its better the learn how to spin than mash. it will also better youer endurance.

I don't trust eggbeaters.
Most people today are riding clipless pedals compared to clips and straps.
