Poll: How bikes do you own?

Not a real 29er but I think you can fit nano 40s in a steamroller.

I got 55mm tires into a Crosscheck, not sure if it has more generous clearances than a Steamroller. Also I couldn’t inflate them past about 15psi. It looked cool as HELL but rode really really terribly.

If you lop off the SS dropouts, respace to 145, and put sliders in it will push the wheels back ~1" and down ½"; that plus a new fork with a cross crown gives a satisfying amount of extra clearance.

I had cross tires in my steamroller BITD, still had room for beat to shit wheels that weren’t up for that level of abuse.

You have 63 speeds?

4x9, 1x8, 1x7, 2x10, 1x11

4x9, the drive train of the future (when the inevitable 1x backlash begins)

No matter what gear you’re in, you’re somehow cross chained.

2 x 11 + 2 x 11 + 2 x 10 + 3 x 9 + 3 x 9 = 118 speedz

1x12 + 1x11 + 1x10 + 2x11 + 3x8 = 79

The 3x8 will be 1x12, the 1x10 will be 1x11 and the 1x11 will be 1x12 to get me 69 speeds.

oh that’s fun
I have 74 total speeds
18.5 speeds per bike

1x11+3(2x11)+1x12=89 gears total, an average of 17.8 per bike, a median and mode of 22

Remember to add one additional speed to your calculation: walking bike
