I did a 1:02 on E1/25b (bit bumpy, 71m of climbing, not a fast course) at 96rpm, 85". Felt like I could have geared a little higher.
Racing the E2/25 on Saturday (apparently a fast course). I mistakenly changed my gearing to 97". Should I stick with it and try Big Gear Theory a la @xavierdisley, or should I put on 90" like I actually meant to?
I know the correct response is do what's right for you, but this is only my second 25 and third ever TT so I don't know what's right for me yet.
