It would be interesting to run an even lower combo up front to bring the
"straight block" esque portion fully into play.
Someday I'm going to run a 9/10/11 speed straight block w/ a wide range
double to minimize duplication and simply run through everything on the
small ring and do the same on the
The custom cassettes from Harris Cyclery have been a revelation.

The differences in gears between the 12-36 9sp cassette and the 11-36 10sp
is subtle. But to run 10 speed you'll need new shifters and chain.
HG61 - 9speed:
12-14-16-18-21-24-28-32-36
10speed:
11-13-15-17-19-21-24-28-32-36
Weight might differ as well since 10 so goes all the way up to XTR.

I love climbing in stiffish gears, but my climbing is slow and generally on
hills that either are gradual even if a few miles long, or, if steeper, no
more than 1/2 mile. Rolling terrain is what I like most. And I don't race
but pace myself -- the great lesson I've learned from riding fixed gears.

Here is my experience with gearing and mortality.

Albuquerque, NM .

We had several different conversations about bike envy during the very

The dream of every CF roadie should be to have a buddy who rides a
Rivendell and brings along the camera, food and other elements that enhance
the ride, while they secretly envy the careless freedom that not worrying
about weight and bringing along the stuff you want, provides.

Kris, I'd say the corollary to that is throwing a little bit of dirt
into the ride. I can't imagine riding on a bike that I couldn't
wander down a dirt track on. A ride just doesn't feel right if it
doesn't include some dirt in it! I'm not saying a MCRB w/ 23s can't
ride a road like this

I do enjoy riding with others, but if you and your companions are not on the
same wavelength it can suck.
Let em ride 29 miles like (insert fast cyclist here), I'd go ride 120 miles
like Jan or 60 miles like Grant.
Some people know how to enjoy being in the saddle longer than others.

The explanation I love the most, and that tends to shut people up as their
brains start processing it is the one that I believe both Grant and Jan
have expressed separately.
The weight of a bike only amounts to about 4% (I think) of the total rider
+ equipment. You wouldn't talk about the performa
Go for it Mike.
