Bike porn

I've got 50/34 12-28, it was fine at first but over the summer I've got fitter and even riding the biggest hills in the peak I don't need 34x27 any more and I run out of gears down hills too. jumping up to 53/39 might be a bit much though.

Go 52/36 up front?

Just to further fuck the porn thread.

Climbing gears > desending gears. You'll save more time, and your legs, if you can maintain a decent cadence on the way up.

Having said that. You need to be doing a bloody long climb to want 34:27. My dilema is that I actually do want 34:27 for my occasional bloody long climb. But I actually also use 50:11.

Currently have, and liked, byt need to replace.
