iwoot too!

I like the look of that but the review says it has a bottom gear of 35 inches. By my reckoning that gives a top gear of about 143 inches. Can't be right, can it?

According to the Sheldon Brown calculator, 45-18 with 32-622 tyres would give you a low gear of 35.6 gear inches and top gear of 145.3. Not the most sensible gearing option, I dare say. You'd get the same top gear with a 61-11 gearing on a road bike (sure, I can spin that...).
