Anybody know what gears they were riding in the various pursuits? (I'm 
guessing it can't be a trade secret, since it will be possible to work it 
out by looking at the video if you really want).

cheers,
clive

At a guess something like 53/14, but I know nothing about track racing.

On that side note, we were at the cycle museum in Llandrindod Wells 
yesterday and Bruce Bursford's equivalent of that bike was there.

In the video here:

about 1:25 in, Hoy says, "In Athens ... my race ratio was 51/14". Presumably 
that was for the kilo.
