Wrong BCD, thought it was a 74, turns out its a 64.
As far as gearing down, yeah, that was pretty much it in the NL, bridges. We may have hit an occasional hill here or there, but they certainly were not memorable if we did. I suspect the Loire Valley to be roughly the same. I had that 52-47-low 30s half gearing for that, I don't recall getting into the low ring but once or twice.
Just want mine geared down to 20ish from the get-go, because I know it will eventually be needed. No point in doing something now then redoing in the future.
