What's your favourite gear ratio?

keep your chainring, 46/19 will provide the slower spinnier ride.
switch to 46/17 if you find it MUCH to spinny.

push more and pull less. get more used to resisting forward momentum at lower ratrio

Will repeat the ride tomorrow after work when hopefully the other sprocket has arrived so 46/17 instead of 46/16 but I don't think that's going to do much. Will order a 19t now so I can do a few rides on the weekend with it.
