Yea, that's the classic gear, isn't it? Problem is I have a few grades I climb on a regular basis that I can't quite lug the 48/16 up - at least not yet. The 42/16 gets me up and over alright, but then I spin it out pretty quickly. For a while I was running 48 and 38 rings up front with the 16 in back and a tensioner in between. But the bike looks much cooler without all that going on.
