Advice sought, one of the lads I ride with has just changed his bike, going from a triple, with a low gear of 30/32 , to a double with a low gear of 33/34. In gear inch terms, this gives him 25.66 (double) replacing 24.87 (triple), so a change of 0.79, would this be noticeable to an average strength rider, all other things being equal. He says it doesn't feel right (?) on hills. Would such a small change make a difference?
