Great Dun fell road ride April 14th REVISED ROUTE

[Benandemu]

Just been reading about Dun Fell - it’s particularly un-retro friendly from a gearing perspective. It’s 15% to 20% at the latter half.

39/23 is as low as I go! I’m going to look silly.

I probably have a 8speed 12 -28 you could put on for the day

Stick an old mountainbike triple on just for the day. Might spoil the look of the bicycle but you'll get up the hill

20%... I'm definitely bringing the tourer. The panniers can stay at Clives though!

Ben, if you're taking the Colnago and running a 111mm square taper I can bring a 9 speed triple with me. Short cage mech should handle a 30-23 (I think) and youd just need to adjust the limit screws and drop the FD a couple of mm as its got a 50 at the front.

I also have a Centaur compact that will fit on a 111 bb

Cheers for the offers, but I committed myself to the latest project, which is the Dyna Tech.

I've got a handful of cassettes that I could use for the day, and one of them goes as low as 28 I'm sure.

Worth a quick squint if you’ve got 5 mins to spare

Nonsense man, you'll look like an oldskool hero!

For real old skool you need to go 42/26 But I wouldn't recommend it unless you have legs of steel
