My memories of Dartmore are that it is very hilly , is that the case ?
Lightweight...Well , Dartmoor is off the list !!
Cheers !
I took an MTB and ended up in 22/32 on one short section of road!I am going down to stay for a week near Chudleigh in early September. I will definitely take my bike and pack a waterproof jacket! (The bike has a Dartmoor climbing gear ratio - 28/30.)
20% would be ok but short stretches of 25% are about my limit these days. I did once get up Park Rash in the Yorkshire Dales which has a very severe first 50 metres whose gradient was nearer to 30%. I would have liked my MTB bottom gear for that one (same ratio as yours).I took an MTB and ended up in 22/32 on one short section of road!
