Sorry to post yet another gear question but I can't find the answer to my specific question.
I have a Pinnacle Mean Streak 1.0 - the frame is more mountain bike than road, but the gears are to my mind hybrid. Last week I used the bike on the C2C fully loaded and found the gear ratios inadequate. I needed both lower and higher gears.
The bike is fitted with 7 speed Shimano gears - 28/38/48 chain ring with 14-28 on the rear.
I really like the rest of the bike and have given myself a budget of around £100 to improve it. What is the most cost effective way of upgrading this bike?
