So over the weekend I tried the infamous tonybuccion gearing 48x18...but huh, maxed out at 28mph but then I thought hmmm how bout 49x15...I could only get up to 31mph, though It was more like 1/4mile. Tonybuccino how do you do it?

[buccinotony]

oh so i got a new account, because i forgot my old email.. but that's totally beside the point..

idk man maybe my friends car was off..

[climbarock]

maybe someone's got their "km" mixed up with "mi"

[buccinotony]

nah cause that would only be 20 mph and i know i can spin faster than that

I did a bit of the math for y'all:

Approximately 150 RPMs  on a 48x18 with 700cc wheels to achieve 32 mph.

it's possible if you have the leg speed, maybe he had a little tail wind
I think I topped out yesterday around 37 but only for a short distance

[jensenn]

32mph on 48x18 is possible. for a whole mile though? i can only imagine how much your legs would be burning. the look on your face at the last 1/4 mile i really wanna see.

tonybuccino is afraid to show us his blazing speed on Tuesday night rides as well as Hellyer!
c'mon man, why hide it?  if you are so fast, race this old man, yes I'm calling you out again.

I just found this excel spreadsheet online that's amazingly handy for everything in regards to gear calculating:
