On the Specialized, you (11-12-13-14-16-18-20-22-25-28-32T)

Not bad ratios on the 32T cassette, although you are missing the 15T and 17T on the Specialized. So it will depend a bit on which gear you settle into whether that would be an issue.

Interesting comments on the Gatorskins. I like the Gator Hardshells, but I'm not a speed demon either.

I've been meaning to build up some kind of a deep tubular wheelset with high performance tires. Perhaps sometime.
I rode a common 22 mile route tonight on the trek for the first time and PR'd on every strava segment along the way that I've ridden countless times with my specialized. Interesting comments on the cassette differences, maybe there's something to that! The ride felt so much easier on the trek too. I'm so confused
