11-32!!! Is that normal nowadays
I'm out of touch with geared bikes but that sounds bonkers. Back in the 90's everyone ripped the piss out of me for riding the Pyrenees on 42 x 23

it's that or 11-29 with campag 12 speed. Yes people use to run much bigger gears back in the day, yes it does look more macho and a bit more impressive, but generally people(mainly Pros) are much faster up hills nowadays so it can't be a terrible thing.

CADENCE CADENCE CADENCE!!

@BONOR , Pro's still ride 39x23 (25 or 26 in the mountains) and have high cadence. That's why they're pro's and not tourists. ;) But it's the tourists that buy these bikes and that's why they have 11-32.
