How does it feel going up hill with a load, or even a big big load? Do you die, or just go slower and it's OK?
No real problems, just gear it down. That's my next project actually. I have a 44t chainring in the front, and a nine speed cassette in back. My largest in the rear is big (at 34t), but It's not low enough for me to grunt a 180lbs drinking buddy up one of the hills between my house and downtown.
Probably going to just go down to about a 34-36t in the front...
It's so much fun to load up with crap! You just start packing it on, and when you go to unload it, you are suprised to see that you just hauled 80lbs of laundry and groceries, and you hardly felt it.
