Crest of a Hill

[mzweili]

Currently I have 50-39-30 with an 11-36 casette on my Silvio 2.1 with 165 mm cranks.
I was able to climb most hills with the 39 / 36 combination.
This winter I'm planning to convert to 50-34 with 150 mm cranks.
Will see how this works out.

Your top end might not be enough for high speed. I have 150 mm cranks, 53T Q-ring, and an 11T cog for my high end. It's okay, but I wouldn't want a smaller chainring. I don't know how fast you like to go. Just a thought.

I'm not a racer. My max. speed was 74 km/h downhill without peddling.
Otherwise my speed is limited by the ''motor'' (built year 1945). ;-)

Your motor has another 50 years on it if you keep riding.

Hopefully you've remembered to change the oil every 5 years or 50,000 miles!

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll try my best.
As a 120 year old Cruzbike rider, I'll be assured to be mentioned in the Guinness book of records.
