geemobee Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 What would be the ultimate uphill climbing setup be?
DJ84 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 What would be the ultimate uphill climbing setup be? The one that gets you up the quickest.It depends on you and how you climb. I ride a 1x9 (36-11/32) which is pretty difficult on the big climbs.looks like you have a 32(Front ring)-11/36(cassette) which should be ok depending on you. Best way for you to know what the ultimate climbing setup would be is for you to go and ride the hills.

DJ84 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Does the bigger front ring make climbing easier? Nope,more difficult. More in front the heavier the gear but faster you go at the same cadence (pedal speed)More at the back the lighter the gear and you go slower at the same cadence. http://www.bikecalc.com/gear_ratiosGo look at this site, it gives you a speed vs. cadence and your gear ratio.Will help you understand which does what.
Jewbacca Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Or ask Sheldon Brown..... He has answers and explanations for everything

Thanks! So smallest in front and smallest at the back equates to climbing like a pro?
Grebel Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks! So smallest in front and smallest at the back equates to climbing like a pro? No. Biggest in the front and smallest at the back equates to climbing like a pro. Big Blade Baby! Seriously though the smallest at the front and biggest at the back equates to easy climbing. The bigger you go in front, the harder it gets. Likewise the smaller you go at the back, the harder it gets.

LongDonkey Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Cool, What should I add to give me additional climbing power. A smaller chain ring on the inside of the 32T? I'm currently on a 1x10Bigger legs helps with climbing power.Mine are long and skinny so climbing sux.Currently I am on a 2x10. If you go to a second ring you will need a front derailleur which is a different setup.

Grebel Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Cool, What should I add to give me additional climbing power. A smaller chain ring on the inside of the 32T? I'm currently on a 1x10 That looks like a 1x10 conversion. There is provision for a smaller chainring on the inside. You could also probably go back to 3x10 but you'll need a front derailleur and shifter. If climbing is too hard try fitting a 30T chainring up front. Depending on what size the biggest sprocket is at the back, you may be able to go bigger. That will ease the pain as well. It will however mean buying a new cassette.
