Just about to treat myself to a new Dawes Galaxy Ultra to replace my current tourer via the CTW scheme.
Want to lower the gearing in order to be able to drag a fully loaded bike and my over weigh carcass up those bigger hills. Chainset on my current tourer is Shimano Deore 44/32/22 and this works well for me.
The standard chainset on the Ultra is the Sugino RD-5000T 48/38/28.
Looking at the Shimano M770 XT chainset as a potential replacement/upgrade.
Is this a good investment? I know Sugino are a good make, but couldn't find an equivalent geared chainset from them.
All help and advice gratefully received!
