Thinking out loud; lets talk gears.
On the genesis I currently have 11-25 (lol) with 42/30. e.g. I spent maybe 2 mins in total in the 11t cog of a 4 hour ride yesterday.
11 is definitely too high and 25 is definitely not low enough loaded uphill. When I say loaded I mean light loaded not a full pannier set up. I will be taking this bike to Pyrenees also but I have a long cage mech for that.
The cassette was 2nd hand and dead anyway.
So I am looking at 2 cassettes, a Shimano R8000 14-28 and a Miche 13-29.
