How do you know if your gearing is too low? Is there such a thing? I could care less about top speed in the mountains, just curious what some symptoms of gearing too low could be.
I know that if you gear lower and your top speed is decreased and you want top speed you had a negative effect. I am more looking towards mountain type symptoms. I run around 48 MPH track speed in a climb, and I can do 85+ on the trail. My thinking says that I can still gear lower.
When I say low, I am talking numerically higher gear ratio. I am went from 2.0 to 2.11 and thinking about going to 2.33 since top speed is still quite high.
Thanks
