and its nice to not have your legs spinning out of control on the downhills and I can skid no problem..
I really do wish I had a 17t cog tho, it will be harder on the hills, but then Ill have 17 skid patches instead of 3.. heh
get a 19t instead.
i run 44/16 in hilly ass seattle and i'm thinking of dropping down to 44/18 or 42/17 or something like that.
