Made my point about halfway down page 1 Tim!
Changing to a 34 has meant I can get up a hill on the bike where I used to have to get off and push.
It also means I’m changing about on the front less – can stick in middle/34 rather than having to drop to the granny.
Again, where are you riding if, in the granny ring and 32T are you are getting off and walking?
I don’t think having 2x extra teeth will make THE difference at this present point in time – I might be wrong.
Precisely my point – it made the difference for me – you are wrong!
