Afternoon Gent/ladies
I have recently bought a felt qx65 hybrid and also have a raliegh sprint road bike, but my query is around the gearing and climbing of hills
Raliegh sprint - Compact 50/34 - 12/25
Felt QX65 - Triple 48/38/28 - 14/28
my query here that is open for discussion / debate is why is it that i am finding the hills just as hard on my hybrid in 28/28 as i am on the road bikes 34/25.
Tyres are thicker on the hybrid 37mm compared to 25mm, bike weight is virtually the same
but i am thinking that my saddle is a tad to high as i am losing a bit of power at the bottom of the pedal stroke, could this be the problem???
Cheers guys
