I'm doing several rides a week to and from deep SE London at the moment, via Gipsy Hill, Sydenham Hill or Kirkdale (I've tried **and hate **them all). Doesn't help that as I'm slowly heaving up these gradual inclines I pass various 'Mounts', 'Overhills', 'Underhills', 'Upper' this and 'Rise' that.
Need to find a better gear ratio for the Creamroller - currently running 47x17 which is fine for flat (I don't like too much spin) but I know I should be trying out others to make hills easier.
Don't want to spend too much cash experimenting...what did you suggest again Indra?
