Does anyone have some experience they can share using the 3.0's as opposed to the 4.5's? I'm a strong rider, but I doubt that even the 4.5s would be too easy with max gear of 53-11. Experience?
Hot dogs are mean. Had a set of 4.5 in hot dog width and I could not stand using it for longer than 20 minutes at a time. I have a moderate amount of roller experience, but losing 5 inches of buffer width made for a very white knuckle experience. One hell of an adrenaline rush though.
