Upon further review, I'm actually using a 14x28 on the rear.
Biopace 52/42
Shimano 170mm crank, A350 FD and RD
Diacompe 505 brakes.
Sorry about image sizes - not sure how to shrink them yet.
Nothing fancy by any stretch.
thanks like the bike and problem corrected.
I would ride in the small ring and focus on doing decent spinning. go into the big ring on downhills and with the wind behind you for now
Personally I like having my HR available, but don't worry about stages. I try to keep it in a range. (for me that is 130-150) also if it is super hot I keep it at 130 or under to avoid over doing it (this is me using this info as an example and not saying anything I do is super scientific)
