Hi,
I was thinking of entering a sportive but looking at some of the blurb, it says that they a bottom gear of 39 x 25-28 minimum is recommended.
I have a compact chainset (50/34) and the cassette is 11/30. I take it that means my bottom gear is 34x30.
Does that mean that my bottom gearing is easier when climbing than say 39x28?
FWIW, I quite like going uphill, i`m just not very fast at doing it!
