I am doing the Markleeville Death Ride this year and have already been warned by my wife that if
I die on the ride, she doesn't want to hear about it. So, in my growing paranoia about this ride,
I have been thinking of throwing my old Sugino triple crankset on the bike with the Campy med
cage rear der.
If I use my 12-25 on the back, will the der handle the range? Or will the triple be unnecessary if I
use a 13-29 cassette? I can pretty much climb walls with a 39/29.
Oh, and BTW, if anyone has any advice about this ride, preparations, or comments, feel free. I
did 4700 miles last year on the relatively smaller hills west of Madison and I plan on having at
least 2000 under my belt by the time of the ride. I have done back to back centuries (Sat/Sun)
and the Wright Stuff Century (for those who know it) averaging ~16 mph. Not real fast but I think
a decent pace.
