It's perfect for the way down but on the way back up home, there is some very gradual incline and 2 steep sections. I can just manage it on my 46/18 but my left knee hurts a bit and it's slow going.
Wondering if swapping to an 18t would help or is there not going to be much difference?
Well it make a difference because the more tooth you get like 14T and 18T the 18T will have more torque than 14T but 14T have more Horsepower.Here is the simple explanation:More torque=faster acceleration and easier to climb any hill,More Horsepower=faster Top speed but if you want to climb any hill it will be tougher
