No mine is 44/28. Someone else was using 38/24. I don't think I'd want to go any lower than 44 for the kind of riding I do. With my triple the big ring was 46 and I used the 46x11 on almost every ride. Now I've got 44x11, hopefully my friend and fellow Rivendell owner doesn't drop me on the next brevet!
If he does I'll blame it on the gears rather than his superior fitness level. ;) On Aug 28, 2014 5:47 PM, "Johan Larsson" <[email protected]> wrote: > Are you cycling offroad? 38/24 seems small for road use.
