cheers for feedback, yeah i think 32-20 would be about right, just got back from a three day bikepacking trip on the heaphy track just out of nelson, new zealand, and was hunting for a lower gear on all but the downhills, the hills would have been ok un-loaded but add that extra want and i wanted to spin, differently rather spin than grind or push, ordering a 20 tooth as we speak, I was testing some of my own frame bags whipped up a couple of days before we left, sadly they didn't perform like your epic design bags, my sewing skills aren't that good haha, check out my blog in a week or two to see photo's from the trip and how the gear performed, also any chance you know if the 1x1 had paint issues at some point as my brand new (2009 model i think) hasn't handled its first offroad ride well, the paint seems to be missing it's clear coat layers, as it rubs off and scratches far easier than my crosscheck, after that 3 day trip there were a few deep scratches down to the metal and alot of places where the paint was basically rubbing away. Haven't emailed surly yet as i brought brand new for a bike shop, but it was old stock so not sure of warranty etc, still love the ride though just not happy with the unusual low paint quality from surly, any feedback would be appreciated,
cheers Sam
