But wait, you have a Rolhoff! That thing has wicked gear ratio/range! You shouldn't have had a problem on those hills. Hmmm... Odd. How many teeth does your chainring have?
I will need to check the chainring, it was the standard that come with the bike, I am still undecided whether the Rolhoff is as good as people make it out to be, yes there is a very good range of gears, but I cannot help but feel that there is greater resistance in the 1-7 gears, maybe after a few more miles on it, it will loosen up
