|   Gear Ratio | mikebdiddy
Jan 5, 2004 1:47 PM | | If you put a mtn. crank (34-48) and a big cassette
(11-34) on a cross bike-will there be a gear ratio problem while pedaling-kinda like a dead spot in the revolution of the crank??????????Does anyone know what I mean, and is there anything that can be done about it? |

I run a 34/48 with an 11-30 and it is fine. |
