Okay, okay.... you're funny.
But anyway, to put things in perspective, on my Tourist I have a 30/42/52 triple and a 11-32 (9 speed) cassette in the rear. I can spend an easy third of my commute in the 30T chain ring and my lowest two gears in the back. I know this isn't a fair comparison to SS. I could become a stronger rider, but right now, I ain't!!
