Suggestions for Gear Sets in VT
I wasn't sure if I should ask this question here or in the old people's section (50+). I'm part-way through 51 and I'm not a fan.
Anyway, I bought a Felt Breed 30 a couple of years ago. It's my first gravel bike and the high-end component setup is a gamechanger. I like the bike but I went on a ride this year and people older than me were passing me uphill. It was a 30-mile ride with over 3k of elevation gain. I'm just now starting to learn about gear sets on gravel bikes. My question is, what is the general opinion on gearing? Are single front sprockets the way to go and what sort of a low gear should I consider to help me climb some of the VT back roads? Side note: I like the high gears for paved downhill runs.
Specs from the Felt site for my bike: Praxis Works Alba, 48/32T, 47cm: 165mm 51cm: 170mm, 54 - 56cm: 172.5mm, 58 - 61cm: 175mm
