I understand how it ended up listed as Cat 2, but that's just plain silly.Just saw this segment whilst looking for hills to train on.

With any given rear sprocket, a 34-tooth ring is going to give a gear about 13% higher than a 30T ring (34/30 = 1.13333).Is there a good way to understand the difference in work required between these 2 gear combinations?

Changing from a 34 to a 30 is pretty similar to shifting 1 gear lower when you're in the low gears of your 11-32 cassette (i.e. from the 25 to the 28, or the 28 to the 32).
$30.how much do they run for? i might be interested in grabbing a pair
So it doesn't sound like it would get a huge advantage. Reason I am asking is I am still eyeing that Giant Revolt and am maybe considering getting the cheaper one and using at times during the winter. After the winter it would be a gravel bike and I was thinking of getting a set of 28+ mm slicks to switch out for randoneurring or touring.
The cheaper one has a triple with a low gear of 30-32 and the more expensive one has a double with a low gear of 34-34. Those seem pretty similar, right? (34-32 is my road bike low gear).
So if there isn't really a huge difference in the climbing, maybe it is better to get the better components and the simpler crankset. On the other hand, it's close to $500 difference, and if I don't spend as much I might not worry much taking it off road or maybe even on snow.
Paid 60 for it.

If I understand your question properly then you can use this:Is there a good way to understand the difference in work required between these 2 gear combinations?

Have been waiting for this...
YT Updates Range for 2017
I think I may have my new bike: https://www.yt-industries.com/uk/detail/index/sArticle/1242/sCategory/509
But the red one is available ready for when my friend is visiting.
Edit - Actually, it probably would just miss it.
Edit 2 - Bollocks, you have to go with the ugly silver version if you want the factory fork. That's put me off. I wish these fucking bike companies wouldn't do that. Let me buy the top version with whatever frame I want.
As someone that worked in the bike industry for a long time I'm pretty torn on brands like this. Sure a lot of bike shops have shitty employees but what are people going to do when their brakes need to be bleed or a seal goes in their fork and there is no shop around? No shop owner is rolling cash and people are buying way more bike then they need thinking they are getting a bargain online.
The factory fork just gives you the coating, nothing more. On the US site the Race bike is also an 11 spd bike not a Eagle build.
I hope you have an xc bike for Leadville.

It's the coating I want. It's not just that either, the dropper on the CF Pro is garbage, and the wheels are much better on the CF Pro Race too.
Edit - But yeah, what the fuck at the CF Pro not having Eagle. Jesus wept, I'm never going to be able to buy a bike. lol
I learned long ago not to trust bike shops with my bikes. I do everything myself (not exactly hard to learn via the internet), except for full fork / shock services, which most shops can't do themselves anyway (the parts get sent to pros).
We are all doing it wrong.
Got my 6+ years old MTB and that new Trekking Bike of my gf stolen out of our cellar. Luckily we are covered by insurance and we got the whole money back (2k+ ).
It's the coating I want.
Edit - I suspect I'm not fitting a water bottle in that Jeffsy either. Hopefully there would be enough room for my tool bottle.
For the reason you've described, the common method of choosing chain length is the same regardless of how many chainrings you have. Wrap the chain around the largest rear cog and largest chainring without threading it onto the rear derailleur, find the shortest length where it could be connected up, and then add an inch (two rivets) to leave a little slack for when the rear derailleur is added into the picture.I took my cyclocross bike in to my local shop this week to get a few jobs done.
He decided I needed a new chain and fitted one.
I had a quick ride up and down my street tonight to check everything is ok and while cycling gears ended up in big gear and big cog where everything jammed.
Now I know you would never ride in these gears, but I don't think the chain was this short previously.
I took the bike back and the tech made a big deal out of this being how shimano recommend you size the chain when you have 3 cogs at the front. However reading a bit since, this sounds like bullshit and if I do accidentally end up in that combination while riding, I could end up ripping the bike to bits.
What do you guys think?
Seventeen.Now to decide how many gears to put on it.
Just curious but does it say where it was made? Giant was/is making both aluminum and carbon Colnago's at lower price points but I don't know if they ever made steel ones.Worth every penny! Now to decide how many gears to put on it.

I like the colors. It was one of their best combos.
