I think my minimum on Brasstown was somewhere around 6 MPH, after a week of the worst punishment I'd received up to that point in my life. I can double-check later tonight. In any case I did Brasstown on a 33x28.
.


33x28 at 60 rpm is 5.7mph. and 6 mph up the Wall portion of Brasstown is pretty strong, works out around 600 watts for an average sized rider.


Doing repeats up Brasstown, I was glad to just keep the pedals turning on the Wall in a 34x27.
