Ha! I'm not sure how much difference a Roadeo would make on the down hill vs. a Quickbeam, but the higher up I got, and then especially in the storm wind that picked up, I though "a lower gear would be nice." Grin. But if the last five miles to the summit are the main road I can't yet ride on the QB, I'm not too hard up for a geared skinny-tired bike. Grin. to make the summit, I'll likely put the Clements on the Hunqapillar. Unless the Barlow Pass on the QB boost me to a whole new level. Grin.
