That's my only nag about my set-up, can climb 15% reasonably well with 48/20 but descending will leave me looking like flash Gordon on a bicycle.
Still, I know I'll have a great time regardless, the hard work will be replaced by the sheer sense of achievement that for sure, will keep it light by having two panniers and a handlebar bag.
I'm doing the Raid Pyrenees with my Dad in 2013, 720km in 5 days a la Randonneur, so I will get to enjoy the descent on my custom 650b bike.
