Ha. I find 45/16 too light - but i do have to ride downhill 2-3 miles wherever I head from mine - 45/14 is just right for long downhills but is seriously hard work when it comes to riding back up, 45/16 is just right for coming back up. I'm a big lad and skids in the dry can be like riding a bucking bronco.
