Understand, but it takes a little of the angst away when you have a long drive, then have to register/check in and get ready for racing if I already have that question out of the way. I'll ask around before race time to confirm my gearing choice and the plan may go out the window, but at least it will be one less thing to worry about. On the other hand, in sprinting, you rarely ever get a truthful answer (if any answer at all) when asking a competitor what gear they are using....many times I have asked someone what gear they used and if they won, their answer was "the right one"....if they lost, either "too big" or "not big enough".
