What's your gear ratio? I can't say my feet have ever suffered from intense heat from mashing out long climbs with a low cadence, but I figure if you're climbing Col du Crush with a 34t chain ring and 28t cog (like I did, last year...don't do what I did), then it probably won't help matters. I'll be using 34/46 chainrings and an 11/32t cassette. |
Good call with the road setup, hope it works well for you. For these sort of events it makes sense.
Crusher is unique with the amount of climbing and the altitude. I used a 34/32 last year and it was still a hellacious grind up the Col. 28 seems brutal, ouch!
Last year I won the 45+ category but I can't make it this year. Have fun!
