Sure this has been answered but can't find it. Right now I'm using 48/16 which is what my bike came with. I'm doing basic training sessions at the moment and expect to do accreditation shortly. I'm not going to race in the foreseeable. But I'm noticeably undergeared compared to others. Should I get a 50t ring or 15t cog? I did ask this at the track today but was too knackered to remember the answer, which involved gear inches... I suspect I should err on the low side given what I tend to spin on my road bike. I don't really want to replace both cog and ring at this point.
When doing 'pairs rotating on the blue' drill, what should happen when a pair drop back and there's an odd number of riders in the group, so there is a trailing rider on the back of (a) the lower line of riders (b) the upper line?
Cheers for any pointers.
