Trying to improve my Strava time on a hill I was looking at sheldon browns gear calculator to find the next highest gear.
So my bike is as follows:
700x35c wheel
175mm crank
48/36/26
11/13/15/17/19/21/24/28/32
According to the calculator 48/21 has a gain ratio of 4.5 and 36/15 is 4.7.
So, why does 36/15 feel easier than 48/21 when its a higher gear?
