Hello all, Just another "Jim" here. Im a 62 year old getting back into cycling from Philly subs USA. Im riding a Trek DS 8.6 with 30 possible sprocket combos and I'm wondering how many of you still use their lowest ratios for hills after getting in shape. I loved the low gearing when i got the bike (not even a month ago) but its starting to be more fun "Charging" the hill in the midrange gears. Im thinking for simplicity and weight reduction I may at some point go to an 11 speed Cassett and just one Sprocket on the front. Im not that into peddling my ass off going down hill because gravity still seems to give me thrill without any effort of my own.
