With the plethora of new wheelsets out there...wanted to revisit the question of gearing for SS - Single Speed and DMS - Derailleurless Multispeed Snow Bikes.
FYI, here is the original posting and discussion:

Here is the calculator that I'm using:

____________
Given, 80 and 100mm rims with Endomorphs, 175mm crankarm
!st QUESTION: what tire size would you plug into the formula for an accurate gearinch determination.
____________
The concensus in previous thread was for 'general' snow conditions ~ 38 to 40 Gear Inches was most useful.
2nd QUESTION: Any additional thoughts on useful gear combos for SS and DMS layups? Suggestions?
Quyana in advance....
