But days with a nasty headwind. There have been a few where I can't muster up the strength to get beyond the single digit MPHs. I'm willing to deal with that for the chance to crush on days where the wind is at my tail.

And that's the thing. I live in Chicago, land of no hills. The largest incline I have is coming out of the basement garage of my apartment building.

Also I live right on the lake and the entire city is pretty much uphill as you head north.
So yeah, no monster rings for me...

What hubs do those langster city editions use? They come in nice colors, and have nice flanges.

Man I wish you could take all the sticker off the Langster, I took off all I could and it's still a bit over the top.

Everything on the bike is stock, but the chain ring. 42 zen messenger is the stock size. The hubs are not to great. Im looking for new hubs or wheels and pedals.

God dammit I am such a nub. A word to the wise, if you've never wrapped bars before, get some cheap cloth tape to practice with so you don't end up ruining your fizik antique brown handlebar tape that came with your saddle and that you can't seem to find on its own anywhere.
God dammit...
