Thanks mate. Looking at doing an 800km charity ride next year here in Australia and I believe some parts are quite mountainous. I ride 45-17/18 here in a reasonably hilly city on my 22km commute and it is perfect. But long descents and ascents would kill me with just one choice of gear and the roadies/bunch would get away I reckon. Glad to hear there is not much noticeable drag as this is a great solution for longer mountain rides.
Cheers.
