Excellent !!!

My commuter has 52/40 - now with a 13-25T 7 speed freewheel - those 2 tooth jumps are GREAT ! and my Sierra project bike has 53/39 and a 12-25T 7 speed cassette. The commuter has ISO630 rims, while the Sierra has ISO571; so the overall gearing is really close.

I don't have any hills, just one over pass and one under pass on my commute.
