>>1175104Not the guy you're replying to, but yeah, I love my low gears. They're lifesavers on short +20% pitches, or keeping my cadence up on extended 15% climbs.
Here, have a gear chart from my current monstercross/gravel/allroad/whatever bike
>>1175116>It's worth remembering that "gravel" refers to a range of surfaces.>Arguing about gearing is pointless because needs vary from rider to rider and place to place.Yep. I've done rides where 34:32 and 32mm semi-slick tires were just fine. I've also done rides where 24:32 and 45mm knobby tires were almost inadequate.
