Whats your goal? win races or Tour to see the country side.. I'm the Touring sort. on a hybrid I'd think you chose a bike to get places (other than a race podium).

Adapting to my 3 speed hub ... cadence too fast? shift up or slow down speed till it feels right

too low? down shift or bump the pace up a bit.. this is with just 3 speeds, in town .. my middle gear 57~61 ish..
