Bikes: It's complicated.

If'n you're not a natural climber, and you want to modify your N.R. cranks, triplizer is what you want. 52-42-24 on this rig, 13-32 in the rear. I really want to get to the top of Cypress this year without walking.

My Eroica ride this year

Not cheap, but a good investment if you want to use a vintage 144 BCD crankset

https://www.redclovercomponents.com/..._42_Teeth.html $106
Triplizer bolt kit $12
74mm BCD 24 tooth chainring can be found for $10 in steel.
You'll need a longer bottom bracket, $25-40
