I'm a reasonably fit club rider (but not racer) who is entered to ride the Etape this summer - my
clubmates reckon I'll get by with 39 x 23 bottom gear - I have my doubts being 6'2" tall and 12
stone - do I go for a triple or fit a 38 x 27 (which is about the smallest you can get on a Shimano
Ultegra groupset)?
My knees are hoping I'll go for the triple, but it seems like a lot of outlay for a one-off use?
Any advice from anyone who has actually ridden in the Pyrenees?
Cheers, Richard
