As a preride preparation for my London to Bilbao trip I did a test ride this weekend from London to Seven Sisters and back to London with the bike loaded and 47x18 gearing. Few pictures to bring your attention:
I got home on Sunday with my knees totally destroyed. Had to push the bike in a few hills, so I'm wondering if I should probably go to something even softer maybe? I have 18 and 19t cogs which I was planning to use for this trip (19t for UK and Spain and 18t for France) but I'm really concerned with the hills in the spanish part.
Should I go to 19 and 20t cogs insted of 18 and 19?
