thats a big gear you are pushing there

It looks that way but it's actually 42/26. I've also got a spare smaller cog (20 I think) on the hub that I use for trips to flatter places like London. I can swap them over easily without bnggering up the chainline too badly, I just have to adjust the chain tensioner.

Here's one taken today from one of the same places as I put up before

It's not as bad/muddy as I thought it was going to be, maybe one 50m stretch was really muddy, grounds just soft so bit power sapping, but still got a strong westerly wind up there - don't need your brakes going downhill just stop peddleing and the wind will stop you ๐Ÿ˜

Just get out you'll enjoy it! ๐Ÿ˜€
