On the other hand I have ridden a lot of time a Peugeot with a broken rear derailleur that only did the chain tensioning work, so I was using mainly 52-16 and 42-16 , and I must say the simple hard/easy gearing was very very effective, and I have asked myself same question as you. Too expensive. Also, work on your cadence because a 48x14 can give you plenty of speed, and is by no means an easy gearing, you would have a very hard time climbing with it. | |
