I do like the carefree climbing I’m dealing with now. 17t would be great for Medellin, Colombia. Obvs real mountains as opposed to my local hill so 47/46 tooth maybe. The bike I have in Colombia is a State Black label v2. Stock drivetrain 48-49?/15 maybe. I’m debating getting a new wheelset, cog and chainring for that. I have bars, stem, seatpost, saddle I plan on swapping when I do visit. I need to swap out the seatpost collar. Seatpost slips even with sandpaper/griptape. *Happy New Year
Looks fun! Are you sure the seatpost is the correct size? You shouldn't be able to get sandpaper or grip tape in the seat tube with a post in there as well (unless I'm misunderstanding). Carbon grip paste is very good for stopping slippage if you haven't tried that. Gentler than sandpaper too!
