You guys use big gears! I'm presently on 42x16 which is ok around the lumpy part of SE London where I lurk. It's also the 'magic gear' for my old Peugeot frame, i.e., there's no chain slack and I don't need a half link. But if I go further out into Kent, I find the North Downs impossible in this high a gear, and I find I need 42x18. And I'm somebody who would be considered a climber !
