Anyhow, the gear jumps on these cranksets are getting ridiculous. 46-30? 48-31? And then pairing these tiny little chainrings with massive cogs...you’d think everyone was hauling 150lbs of crap over a mountain pass.
Ten years ago, when I was in cycling shape, it was the opposite. I was ashamed of my 11-32 and instead went with a 12-25 with my compacts(running a 12-26 now). Never ever used the granny gear. All my climbing was done 34 in front 23 in back with the 25 my bailout gear. What happened to HTFU?
