that does look nasty, wonder if its ever been used for a race? |
||||
| Slapshot |
not that I am aware of!!!
They should do a TT!!!! |
||||
| kellyrocheearly |
maybe the Tour of Switzerland or the Giro could be persuaded to take a trip there | ||||

13 percent for 10kms-this is why you need PEDS! | ||||

just whack on a 36x25 and you'll be grand | ||||

36x25....
hahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahhahahah ...and a small 2 stroke oil/gas engine. ! |
||||
| kellyrocheearly |
if your only riding that climb alone 36x25 would do the job. Too small a gear equals going nowhere | ||||

see one guy there in that link saying he did it on a 39x27 and he only had to stand up for the steepest sections so definetly do it on the 36x25 | ||||

I will choose the 34x26 for me! | ||||

'see one guy there in that link saying he did it on a 39x27 and he only had to stand up for the steepest sections so definetly do it on the 36x25'
Yeah that my be true but he was grinding out speeds of around 5kmph while he was seated. |
||||
| kellyrocheearly |
he probably was crawling but with a slightly lower gear you could ride most of it at about 8-10mph which wouldnt be so bad | ||||

And me ... |

I think we two can make a good cycling "couple" 
|

| Bartali |
We definately should do a social ride some time. Do you ride with a club at all? | ||||
| Slapshot |
I normally go out with the people of the Tri/running club of Bishops stortford, there is a cycling club too, but you need mud guards and that sort of stuff, that I donīt like too much!
We should met up in Stevenage, that is in the middle us, and go from there! |
||||
| crash48 |
mud guards!
Never. I feel more strongly about that then anyone does about helmet laws! |
||||
| kellyrocheearly |
i'd put a rear mud gear on my old training bike during the winter but thats about it. Hate the bloody things but its better than the bike being completely destroyed by muck & dirt. Washing the bike on a cold, damp winters day is never fun | ||||
| crash48 |
I'll take my hands falling off over mud guards

39 x 29 cos I'm special. 
I used to like it as a kid if my rear mudguard came loose and slipped under my back wheel, but then i loved and indeed still do love skidding. Happened to me on ma motorbike once, total engine seizure at 55mph - wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! |
