I'm a pretty new rider (only about 8 months) and had a crappy SS that ran 48-18, which was OK as my commute is generally fairly flat apart from Stamford Hill on the way home.
My new bike is set up 42-16, which is so, so much better on the flats obviously, but I've yet to tank it up the hill; what can I reasonably expect?
