Do you base it on average cadence for your usual route?
Or just what your legs can take?
I was running 48x16, and my average cadence was in the low 70s.
I swapped the 16t for an 18t and, at roughly the same overall average speed on my normal route, my average cadence went up to about 85.
So on the surface this seems like it should probably a better gear to be running. Or am I wrong?
It certainly feels a bit different, lighter on the legs.
It just got me wondering how others decide on a gear.
