But, I'm still able to effectively spin them in the 90-100rpm range, while also benefitting from the increase in torque. Subsequently, I'm able to select a cog one tooth smaller than I would otherwise and achieve greater speed. Or, run the same rear cog and speed as before, but, require less force from my legs and subsequently experience less fatigue.
