It is worth noting that despite the big gear trend, the proper fast big gear riders are also very fast on much smaller gears. Also do not underestimate the role of fitness. Even pure sprinting requires quite a high level of fitness at higher levels. It’s no good ripping out great F200 times if you can’t make it to the end of a sprint competition
thanks very much and great advice, I will definitely get on the fitness element 👍
