  • No, you need to HTFU.

    Seriously, there isn't much point trying to fine tune your gearing to suit conditions, since the out and back nature of TT courses means you'll be in the wrong gear at least half the time anyway. If you're interested in being in the right gear all the time, get a dérailleur. I used to obsess over fine gradations of gearing, but I've found that as long as I average between 85 and 90rpm (your cadence may vary) I'm fine. For that, I just need to predict my average speed and choose between the 15 and 16 sprockets.

    lol was a new course, new bike, tired legs from hard weeks training and hilly tt the day before didnt help, i need to get my self a 15t then should be set, running 100" at mo, could do with having a 95" to if needs be
