31. Gearing shall be restricted to a titanium Campy Record 11-23 cassette with a ABSOLUTE MINIMUM of 42-53 up front. One must never be seen pedaling at a cadence greater than 90 rpm in order not to detract from one’s calm/smooth factor, or “Suplesse.” The use of 25-toothed cog is acceptable for severely mountainous training situations.
I didn't want a compact, but Helens only had one caad9 1 left in my size and I couldn't pass it up at only $1995. Plus I already had plans to swap out the FSA cranks for 7900 DA cranks.
