I was pushing 52:17 for about 5 months. For general suburban riding it was ok, but on circuit in Central London, with constant stop-starts it came to be horrendous. Also, having friends living the wrong side of Muswell Hill... enough said (I never did get it all the way up.. took to Cranley Gardens & MHR way round). But 30mph+ spinning = fun, can't do it for long on the new gear.
