It might have been the smaller 60 tooth chainwheel, I couldn't tell from the video. You need to get one. I remember flat out descending in my 53/11 on the Death ride, spinning at least 150RPM to no avail, still couldn't keep up with the gravity-endowed folks. The only time I approached 55MPH was coasting down the east side of Carson pass. Didn't have that Paragon ring, though, damn, coulda used the included bottle opener, too! And correct me if I'm wrong, but since when is 60/70RPM pedaling hard for a pro? |
