I don't consider myself a masher, and anything less than a 70 inch gear ratio is a real drag for me on ss road rides, especially if I'm riding fixed and/or for distance.
What kind of cadence do you have to spin to sustain a moderate pace, say 15mph, with a 60 inch gear? Personally, intense spinning wears me out much, much faster than powering up hills. With a 60 inch gear, I figure I'd lose about an hour off of what it would normally take me to do a ss 50 mile club ride with a 70ish inch gear (about 3 hours) - and I'd be absolutely cooked!! I'm exhausted just thinking about it! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
