I bring an 11 to every fight, I mean race. I wouldn't leave home without it.

When we get good lead outs, PIR sprints go up 42mph's,
I end up sitting down at about 39 or so, and (sprinter) spin to 40 or 42mph.
need it, love it

I sometimes do 100rpm briefly when my chain dumps off my small ring and wraps around the bb shell. But other than that, an 11 is the only way I can hang in many races. But then, it took me 10 minutes to type this.KarstenOn 8/29/08 4:38 PM, "zak" wrote:

Because I can't climb very well, I often use it to get back on the pack on the descents. After a leg ripping climb (to me), it's surprising how slow the pack often descends, relative to what the motivated individual can do. Also, in criteriums with a tailwind sprint or a slight downhill section, I actually do use my 11 quite often. I don't have big "track racer" guns, but do find the 53x11 useful sometimes, over 100 rpms. In general though, a 12 is fine for me.> _______________________________________________> OBRA mailing list> obra@list.obra.org> http://list.obra.org/mailman/listinfo/obra> Unsubscribe: obra-unsubscribe@list.obra.org
