I am doing the Markleeville Death Ride (Sierra Nevada south of Lake Tahoe) this year and am dithering about gearing. Here are my bike options:
1. Compact (50/34) crank with either 13-29 or 13-26
I vote 34-29. Funny thing with real climbs: no matter what, I always use every gear I have. Give me a hilly route that I ride regularly and do fine with on my 39-25 low gear, then let me take my other bike that has a 34-27 low and I need every gear.
