  1. Which cog do most of you ride in for your tempo, 53 or 49, this is assuming that you are riding on the flats, im just wondering.

  2. Assuming you mean chainring, I ride on the 53 almost all the time. Only exceptions would be big climbs or when I'm getting my butt kicked by a strong headwind.

  3. I don't ride on the flat very often (it makes me fall asleep :p ) so I ride mostly in the 39 (I assume you mean 39, not 49). On the flats, I'm much more likely to stay in the 53.

  5. Maybe you mean 49 (not 39 - small ring) instead of 53. I've had it with my 53 - it doesn't give me as good ratios as the 49 for general riding(especially undulating ground and headwinds).

    49 or 53 - I'll take the 49 anyday 🙂
