From: 6 miles inland from the coast of Sussex, in the South East of England

Bikes: Dale MT2000. Bianchi FS920 Kona Explosif. Giant TCR C. Boreas Ignis. Pinarello Fp Uno.

When I started I went complete wuss and got a triple. 52/42/30 and I never used the big ring except downhills. I went compct on the next bike and use the 50 most of the time.

And just setting up a bike for the mountains and got a triple 50/39/30 and only use granny when the slope gets above 12%.

Some of us just can't pull that 52 ring. I'm not bothered by it as I know my limitations and don't exceed them.
