For just spinning I use whatever gear feels good. I have six or seven different cassettes, 12-25, 12-27, 11-25, 11-27, 11-28, it all depends on where I'm riding. This weekend I will be using a 50/34 crankset with an 11/28 cassette. The first 75 miles of the ride will have a couple of decent climbs, the final 8 miles is uphill with the final 1.5 miles being a steady 12%.

What Shimano really needs to do is come up with a cassette with a 15 1/2 cog, because that would be the awesomest gear ever.

What you probably witnessed was a dual drive multi chain-ring hybrid drive race bike with a helmholz motor. Very astute of you to pick it out by the chainring size alone. Most people don't catch that but you may have also noticed a whirring noise as she pass you. This is the motor kicking in. People generally use batteries disguised as water bottles and have a button on the stem which turns it on and off. Very crafty use of new technology. You were doing great to keep up as long as you could up against that machine. I'll be she didn't even look like she was working too hard.

Holy sh*t. This thread is hilarious.
He stopped bugging SS/FG for a while, guess this is where he went.
BRB, gonna go race some lady going 50mph on a slightly flat uphill descent.
