Dn Patrick: I read this, snorted, and thought of you.
*See, it used to be that everyone was using gearing that was way too big,
and that was annoying enough. Now, however, it seems that everybody's
running gears that are too small in order to prove what rugged terrain they
ride and how much crap they carry. As far as I can tell, with GRX you can
run something like a 31 in the front and a 34 in the back, and yet I keep
seeing commentary along the lines of, "This GRX gearing is not low enough!
I have three WolfTooth adapters on my long-cage derailleur so I can run a
modified 53-tooth front chainring as my lowest gear in the rear, and I've
got a 13-tooth rear cog bolted onto the spider of my front crank, which is
what you really for the climbs around here--especially when you're carrying
a pour-over coffee maker in the pocket of your Rapha gravel shorts."*
* At this rate the low-gearing backlash is all but assured, and when that
happens I've got two words for you: "fixie bikepacking."*
>From BSNYC, of course, commenting scientifically on Shimano's new gravel
groupo.
