Theirs also the selfish reasons, like wanting a faster, exhilarating, and more satisfying ride.
Not to mention my front derailleur has trouble getting the chain to the large chainwheel (the larger one, still getting use to the terminology)
*Plus i am interested in seeing or rather feeling the difference.
thank you
I agree have the FD adjusted and ask at the shop and make sure your shifting properly. I doubt even a pro would notice a huge difference in front derailleurs.
If you want to go faster your better off finding a riding partner who can coach you improving your riding style liek how to get and stay 'on top' of gears rather than just mashing along.
