Thanks DJB. I would like just a touch lower gearing, but alas I have this and at the moment don't want to go to a double up front, or a 12 speed out back (would need new shifting system). I've used this setup in gravel for northern Georgia and it works well on those very steep gravel roads. Got almost 8,000 miles on my old Supremes without issue and had tons left on them, but they felt like they were getting brittle. Hopefully these will hold up well, as they only have about 1,000 or so on them and no signs of wear.
