Hello all,
Still fairly new here and was wondering if anyone is running a 14/48 gearing combo on their X. Where I live and mostly ride is winding mountain roads and some forest service roads. I have noticed this bike struggling a little climbing some of the steep 9-12% grades. I will probably never see over 75mph on it. I'm just curious if I would benefit any going that route.
I think a 14/43 combo would make it worse trying to climb these grades. Any input is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
