Hey thanks, yes I see myself "sprinting" on my 11th gear OFTEN (on a daily basis flat), I know FOR SURE I could go a LOT faster if I had heavier gears.. (which is what Im trying to find)

Thanks all the replies btw...


"A cassette with the smallest sprocket available would also help".. which one?

Also can I get a larger/bigger crank gear?

Thanks

Using shimano 105 set, looking for LOWER gears set!

Hey guys, Ive been using shimano 105 set which is great for communiting, but not so great to race IMO

The last gear (11th?) is way to small for me, I need to go heavier 100% sure.

What set or what can I do to get heavier gears than shimano 105 set?

Thanks

Strange thing to say.

It has me perplexed.


I don't know why I even said that lol probably was drunk :p

I think maybe it was someone who cut it with a knife on purpose, .. I got 70-80 psi on a 100psi max tyre so I really don't know what could have done that while riding, maybe some metal corner like the sewers ones..

Re: Does anyone know how can I repair this tyre?

Tyre blew up on the same day I made this thread.

Replaced inner tube, 3 days for continental ultra tyre delivery.

I love it, it just feels a bit too small for me idk, its an M size, but Im 5.11 with long arms and neck.. should I trade it for the L size?


Did you get to try the two sizes out before buying or did buy off t'internet... Either way can you get to a shop and try out the two sizes side by side before you commit to swapping.
Any photos of yourself on the bike?


Today I went back to decathlon to exchange for the L size, and its MUCH better feeling, perfect size for me.
They trade it without any problem, even tho I rode it for about 10 miles.
