Hey now, I was just tryin to point out that you dont need super strong legs or anything, which the OP seemed to be implying by asking if a larger cog would help. As a petite woman I typically have a lot less muscle mass than the average male.
P.S. I dont ride 48/17 anymore. There goes my manhood!
To the OP, good idea to practice in grass. A lot of the technique has to do with where you put your weight, and timing the crankarm positions. I wish I had better advice but I'll leave that to the more experienced riders here. Kbye!
