• I'm hoping compact crankset with 11-40 will do for the alps next summer. I mean, if it isn't, I'll only find out when I'm there so it will have to do :)

  • Oh it will be, road riding is a bit much but then again YMMV, some like to spin, some mash.

    I think the issues is simply that a 1-1* ratios may not be enough for gravel/off road, as they might as well have 50/34 with a 11-34t.

    *42 w/ 11-42t.

  • I'll be doing the Torino Nice route with a bit extra to begin so a fair amount of offroad climbing with bags on the bike. But... well... can only ride with what I turned up with.
