Still rocking 52-42 / 11-23! But with 23 tires - Bought a 50/39, that's on its way now.

@nelsonhibbert5267 26 дней назад

I still use the same gear set up. When 53/39 came in I hated it, you had to go up a two or three gears before you dropped down on the front, or you'd be spinning too much as soon as you hit the climb. I still love the drop down from a 52 to a 42, now have to buy the specialist TA chainrings and fit them to a Shimano crank. And 12 or 13-23, even on a 10 speed where you can pretty much run the whole cassette through one tooth apart is an awesome setup. I wouldn't have it any other way. As much as I don't want to quote Henri Desgrange: "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over 45. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailleur? We are getting soft... As for me, give me a fixed gear! ".

Great time! Max must have really strong legs and core! Worst thing about those bikes are the gears. They're just so under-geared for steep climbs, and then if you want to change gears if struggling are actually quite hard to take your hand off the bars and drop down the gears to get in the right one etc. I couldn't get up half our 10%+climbs on a 44x23 let alone a 25%+ one!

100 quid bikes are a mixed bag, I have had loads of these things, 100 will get you a brilliant vintage racing bike these days, might not be a Bianchi but a lesser known bike but great none the less. Something like a Viscount Aerospace can be picked up really cheap but they are quick. Here's a challenge, get a grandad bike and tt it. I sometimes ride my 3 speed 50s thing in local races for the amusement value. Gearing is everything though, that Peugeot would be fine geared correctly.

As a yank, I heard you say, "100lb bike" before I saw the video title and thought Max was going to attempt the climb with a super heavy bike

I've got one of those Pug HLE tube bikes. 25lb. Huret Eco mechs. What I consider is 'I am 12 lb overweight'. With any bike up any hill, the tactics is 'Climb a ladder to the handlebars'. Use the Glutes. Hip extensions. Is that bike for sale?

Within the last month I bought a 1984 Raleigh Corsa just as a quick, get around town bike. Something to jump on for family rides etc. Curiosity got the better of me, I swapped out the clipless pedals from my Cannondale Super Six Evo and went on one of my shorter loops: 25k, 450 meters of elevation. I was happy with how comfortable it was over the course of the ride. The lack of extra gears was def noticeable on the 3 climbs, but not impossible. And I was surprised to discover that I was just less than 2 min slower overall. Crazy. Next I'm going to only train with the Raleigh for 1 month and then go back to my Cannondale just to see how it feels and if training on the harder bike = gains on the newer bike.
