Well, today I rode my typical roller coaster terrain with just one gear, a 36/17. I have 14 on that particular bike(Franklin 531 custom sport/touring frame), but just didn't shift. I had no idea how I would get up, or not, the short and very steep rollers . . . but I did. Prolly .... 20 rpm and standing up those short hills , but you know, it was fun :) !! The funny thing was, I never got out of breath like when I was spinning a small gear. It was faster than walking, but in a wonderful way, quite serene.
Could I ride up our mile long steep hills like this ? Maybe not tomorrow, but I can surely see it happening :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
