Interesting comments re chainring size. Personally as a life long chronic asthmatic, albeit under control with medication, riding up hill pushed my HR to the max even taking its”easy”. As such I’ve always run 30T chainring as the biggest and happily ran 28T on my enduro for racing with days of 1200+hm. I’m not so prideful to admit without that I’d struggle. At the end of the day I’ll do whatever required to enjoy riding my bike including running high rise bars that some seem to laugh at.
What I would like to know though is how a 28T can affect the bike feel. I may not be so in tune with my bike but what exactly would I be feeling? Or what could I look for to be aware of it? Thanks!
