If I remember right after the BWR a few years ago, good ol' @
jsigone didn't touch his bikes for quite a while.
I might try the Wafer with my gravel bike some year. I might need to drop down to a 46/30 crankset. I have a compact with 11-34 on the back, not sure 1:1 is low enough. There are a few spots in Whiting Ranch that I have to walk up.
