Anyone know what drivetrain ratios any of the singlespeeders are running?

From Alexandera's blog:
"19 teeth in the rear. 36 in the front."
That's a pretty aggressive ratio for some of those climbs! I was curious about Ryan Simon, too - can't seem to find any info anywhere on his setup. |

Looks like Scott can take that old, obsolete Women's Singlespeed Record flag off the tracker!  HUGE congratulations to Alexandera. You are the best (literally)! |

Introducing the 2019 NOBO first place rider as of Ovando MT, Daniel Thrush, 45 of Washington. With only two left going northbound he and Max Southern aren't that far apart.
Daniel arrived around 6 pm today, said the ride was going great. A true adventure. That some of the streams/rivers in Colorado were insane to cross; reaching his tall height up to his waist. Then he jokingly asked, don't suppose you have a 29'er inch tire.
Yup sure do.
"No seriously I need a 29" tire".
"Yea seriously I have them. Have a lot of emergency bike parts"
I do believe he about fainted.
Apparently he arrived with a front tire he said was dying from "cancerous tumors"; making a thunka thunka thunka sound that was especially audible on pavement.
After spending a couple of hours switching tires, airing up and consuming as much as he could manage from the BCC market, it appears he has decided to continue his journey toward Holland Lake. Good thing I guess since all the shelters are full in town.
Good Luck Daniel. Glad we could help!

What’s going on with John Schilling? He left Salida yesterday and kind of turned around and stop.
Maybe just a spot issue.

He's getting some well-deserved rest in a hotel. |

According to the reports I've read, she set a score of records: 1. First back to back women's TD winner. 2. Fastest women's single speed time ever. 3. Fastest time ever posted by a woman leaving with the Grand Depart. Congratulations Alexandera! |

Great ride by Zoe Chauderlot of France! 2nd placed woman, rookie rider, aged 26. Pushed through lots of mud, had some tough mechanicals to deal with, and almost scratched at one point. But she rode really hard to get in under 21 days. Been watching her dot from the start and really impressed!
