>>1208823aw yeah that was a good fuckin' ride.
>>1208895Generally speaking, farther east on the great plains is flatter. So "gravel cycling" farther east is more like road riding, where you care about tight gaps between gears to maintain cadence on gently rolling terrain.
Farther west is rougher and anything worth riding is straight up or straight down, so as long as you have the gear range who the hell gives a shit about tight gaps.
