Certainly for a TT bike. Just a question though. Do you race the Tour of the Catskills? Do you race a standard up devil's kitchen? Not saying it can't be done, not saying it shouldn't be done, I know many who do. But I also know some people who re-gear for races like that with compacts so they don't leave it all on the hill.
More curious than anything else.
