So for a normal road bike setup with a typical weight distribution, at what percentage grade does maintaining front wheel traction start becoming an issue? I seem to do okay with grades in the high teens in this regard. (As for having enough power to move at a reasonable speed, well, that's a separate issue.) I've yet to climb anything steeper.
