Hello everyone,
Long-time MTB'er, road biking newb here. I just bought a used Trek Madone 5.2 with a few upgrades. Pretty stoked about this bike in general.
The first thing that's really different about this bike is lack of a granny gear. I ride in California near lots of steep hills and mountains. I like to push big gears when I can, but sometimes I just need a *much* lower gear. What do you guys do about that?
Almost all MTB'ers I ride with use hydration packs but they don't seem to be as popular with roadies. Why not?
Do any of you guys use helmet or eyeglass-mounted rear view mirrors? Which one (brand/model) do you prefer?
