Current Projects chat and miscellany

having just ridden box hill and the surrounding hills for a couple of hours on 46x17 it's certainly not that much harder than having gears, you don't even have to get out of the saddle for most of them.
wouldn't want to go much lower as the long downhills can be hard work

Yes, I think I may have changed my mind. Just changed chainset so my gearing is now 49/18 (from 44/17) which is around 3 inches higher that I used to use. But done around 60 miles this weekend up and down hills and it is not too bad.

I still prefer to spin a bit more though so have ordered a 19 (I also need to stop and higher gears are just that much harder)
