  • What are these legendary hills he is climbing? I am ancient, unfit and 9kg over my racing weight and can still puke my way up the 25% climb a mile away on 39×25. On the basis that he is certainly younger than me and is riding a much lighter bike, what the fuck is his problem? About 10 years ago I rode the Croix de Fer, Telegraphe and Galibier in a day on 39x25, sure, it hurt.

  • He's in his late 50s, quite fit for his age though, but I told him to just stick with it, he's more of a sit n spin up a hill than get out n grind. Was just wondering, and after back up before I told him to crack on.
    Thanks all for input.

  • Anything gearing that will get you out cycling more is good.

    Though more gear inches are better.
