>>1543589>I don't feel like I'm overgeared.Anon, are you really trying to convince me that you are doing 1000W ( gravity assisted or not ) efforts often enough to warrant configuring your bike for them?
>>1543589>...just look at the section up to 30km/h...Having closely spaced gears over the sub-30 range is not critical. Power requirements below that speed differ very mildly and with +/-5rpm cadence variance it is trivial to recover. In the over-30 range aerodynamics really starts to kick in with is velocity-squared drag. That is where you want closely spaced gears.
But since you are a triple advocate - pic related is an 1x13 over 41 versus 3x10 50/39/30 over 11-32. With 1x13 you get more high speed gears ( 5 on 1x, 2 on 3x, pretty darn significant ) the same sequence of gears on the mid range and, granted, less range. If that is really the reason to pay for the complication weight brought by triple rings? Or double, for that matter?
