you mean the smallest ring on your cassette is an 11 tooth? same here, but i very very rarely use it. downhill at 50 or 60km/h maybe.

Yeah, i use it a lot but I'm rarely over 35kmh - That's just my cadence or whatever - I had 9 on the other (much, much lighter bike @ernesto ) and that knocked 5 mins off my commute every day.

i don't have the gearing on the bike for it. lowest i can go is 34-28, i suspect you'd need a 34-32 to stop you emptying your legs on the steep bits when you've still got 50 or 100km to go.

doing the wicklow 200 at 27km/h is no mean feat!

my fastest was 28.2km/h

a 9 tooth on the cassette? i wasn't aware that was possible, strikes me as way too grindy.

it might have been 11, and my current is 13

mondello is clearly not pan flat.

My wicklow 200s were always around the 7 to 7.5 hour mark.

'look at me'


Rough calcs has that at 17-18 mph on serious hill run? Impressive.

The only 'look at me' I'd ever do is from the Wicklow a year or 2 before that where it pissed rain all day and most people were plucked off the course with hypothermia.

My buddy Vinny was doing it this year but not sure if he was solo.

a few years back, i was out on the bike and spun over to the hill of tara because a lad from navan was attempting a double everest on it. it was a really poor choice of hill, wasn't steep enough so he was spending more time covering ground horizontally than was necessary. i think it took him over 48 hours in the end, he was havnig stomach trouble, trying to digest all the energy gels.
