MarcusT - Depends on the ramps, and where in the ride it comes. For an old guy (70) getting up his big hill, ~7% average grade for 2.5km at the end of a 50 mile ride with vintage gearing (42/26) on a 22 pound bike - yes, it can be tough in the wet and/or cold.
Do you ride northern Italian mountain roads with flat pedals? How ‘bout your mtb bikes?
……and no, I don’t need to upgrade all my bikes. But both legs could use 1!
