    Sylvan is flat, very flat. On my 29er SS I ride the typical 32:18 and felt like I had the wrong gear. During normal riding it's ok, but racing it sucked, especially out on the open sections. I won't be at Sylvan this year, but if I were to be there I'd be riding at least a 34:18 or 32:16. If you race a lot of SS, you are probably riding that gearing, so I think a good rule of thumb would be: Take whatever you are riding and step it up one or two.

    If you dont want to be slow. I would ride 32-15, like I did a few years ago on a two9er. And I was still spinning out on the far side of the island. -Huck
