With a 52/40 upfront, your freewheels would be a tough choice for me. If I could dedicate this bike to mostly solo riding with the occasional 7% grade, I’d definitely go with the 14-34 freewheel. The problem I’d have is I still do a lot of spirited group riding with my vintage steel and that 18-23 jump is a doozie. I’d have to get a whole lot better at double-shifting.
