  • I was riding up measly 12% grades on the road on my 30/36 yesterday which is 22GI. And in 46/11 on every descent. Perfect for me. Only had about a kilo of junk on the bike. Much nicer spinning up them at 90RPM, didn't have to get out of my saddle at all unless I wanted to.

  • Fair fair. That's sounds like a nice ratio. Saying that though, for loaded touring with 10kg+, that extra ratio really helps.

  • Yeah for sure. If I was using it for normal semi-laden day riding I want at least that for touring or slippy gravel stuff or whatever. Would much, much rather gear down than have to get off and walk
