Have to check the rules I guess but I imagine I'll also need to put the original pedals and clips back on it. I have climbed an 8 mile C2 route with this despite just a 42T small ring. Wasn't fun but not really that hard.
Hmmmm.....wonder if the Guv'nor would meet the rules. S/A 3 speed and certainly in the spirit I would think. Wonder if the knees would make it though, LOL!
Hmmmm, am I hard enough to get this beast up the climbs????
I need to think about this. Sure would be fun but I'm not sure if I have the bike for it anymore.
jamesdak option for bigger tubies would be the Vittoria Corsa Control in 30mm I can fit them on my 85 team miyata. they measure true to size and are supposed to be the replacement for the pave
