Changing 10 Speed Cassette...

20% climbs on a 50/24

Good for 13.9mph at a cadence of 85. Very impressive.

20% climbs on a 50/24

It was fun at the time

Found a nice local 30 miler, out and back.

What sort of speeds are you achieving on these climbs?

Out of interest, try tackling them in the small ring next time, with a higher cadence and see how you get on?

No idea. I lost my wheel magnet before the ride. I'll let you know next time.

I'll probably whizz up them in the 34t. I just felt comfortable in the 50 up front. Maybe it was just a good day?!?!

I did try to drop down onto the 34t at one point coming up to a steep hill, but it wouldn't drop. That's why I know I was in the 50t for sure. After the hill, I dropped down onto the 34t on the flat and it shifted with ease.

To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to the ride. I was camping and sleeping in a tent, didn't get much sleep, had one too many beers the night before so took a couple of Ibuprofen tablets. It quite possibly gave me super powers
