lower numbers in gear inches are easier to spin.
around 66.4 is good.
I've been on 66.4 (48x19) for month now and it's good for 30-60 mile hilly rides. I can get more miles into the week with less risk of exploding knees too.
Quicker rides averaging 18mph are a bit spinny but it's probably good for technique and the heart so I'm sticking with it FTW.
