I was in 53x12 and to the point where my cadence was too high to maintain FTP (not spun out, just outside optimal zone).

So, if I'm going to put some time and $ into a TT set up, what gearing do you recommend? Think ubiquitously, for a guy who doesnt want to change out cranks and chainrings and TTs on rolling to flat terrain.

I was on my 50x14, pacing myself at about 85-90 rpm. This was in a non-aero time trial, though.
