Right - got the bike ready to roll... and found that my fitness has left the building so completely in the last 14 months of injury that I boked on a couple of teeny wee road climbs (about 150m long, 5m up twice and then a 400m loop around the road with that climb again).

Currently I have a 32T on the front and 10-42 out back on a 29"/27.5+ and live on the edge of the Lakes (Grizedale/Parkamoor/Blawith etc on the doorstep). What size chainring should I be going down to? Kinda thinking a 28T but wondering if I should consider going 26 and stepping up gradually as fitness levels return?

Thoughts please - the 1x thing is entirely new to me!
