I tried it on my 6-speed (50T to 44T) as I have a hell of a hill to get up on my way home.
I could always do it, but it felt like it was unecessarily hard.
Unfortunately it meant that it compromised the top end too much. Perhaps I’d just got used to the cadence, but I was spinning out too easily in sixth.
So I changed it back. It was good to try it, but ultimately didn’t work for me. As you say though, cheap enough mod to give it a try.
Hardly ridden it this year since March though. Just one 19 mile for the Ride London remote event.
