If rested and on short rides I'd probably never use it but I carry a full "touring load" all the time and in spite of my efforts to reduce by riding, I only drop 20 pounds at the peak of the riding season. Grants recent writing clued me into the compensation eating that I know I do so I am trying some things different this year. Using lower overall gearing has preserved my knees. I wonder if a Deore rear derailleur will shift to the 36 tooth cog?

Going to a 36T would bring that down to 16". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
