Yeah I know what you mean! I'm only riding 48-18 but it's still tough at the top. Coming down t'other side's fun trying to stop your knees hitting your chin! That's why I've got 2 brakes. Keep trying not to use the rear in the misguided belief that I'll eventually get a nice BJ track frameset and run it with 1 brake, but the cruel reality of it is that i'm destined to remain a commutenger on my bi-braked Pompino lol
