Gearing for a long ride ?

(1/5) > >>

PNWRS2000:
I'm doing a 450 mile bike ride with some lads from work in the summer and for some stupid reason I've got it in my head that I want to do it on a BMX.
What's the best gearing ratio do you think ?

diesel:
at the very least grab yourself a 24" or 26" cruiser bmx

17/39 or 18/41

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
man up and go bmx - 39/15 will be fine  :angel:

kev-s:
before you decide to use a bmx find out how many miles a day you will be doing

also what will the others be using? if they are on mtb's or road bikes your gonna get left behind and be on your own!

if its 10-20 miles a day a bmx should be fine, if your doing a 100 miles a day then you got no chance!!

i can do 100 miles in 7.5 hours and thats on a proper full on carbon road bike

dont forget if u have no support car then you will have to carry tools and spares i.e inner tubes and a spare tyre in a bag on your back which will make it harder

I can do 100 miles in 6.5 hours on my mums old shopper bike  ^"^ ;)
