Subject: Best gear for up-hill climb ?

Hello Everybody,

I participated in the 350 meet on climate change last Saturday, that was my
first cycling after my school days (nearly 15 yrs).

It wasn’t an easy ride, I couldn’t have made it without Pankaj’s support all
along.

I enquired a few places about adding gear to my cycle and most of them said
5 gears on back wheel is the most common one.

Now I’m looking to know ke how many gears and which pattern is best to make
uphill climb easy.

Of all gears I’m looking for the one that makes uphill the most easiest as
being new to cycling and being on the heavy side of weight scale I tend to
get tired very easy on gear-less cycle and this may result in losing
confidence on cycling long distances.

Please let me know the places I can get it added.

Regards
Liya

Hi Liya,

As we were talking on that day, you might just try out getting a 5
speed gear (1X5) first.
This would be enough for the kind of ride we did last Saturday and
also for slightly longer rides in and around Bangalore.
If you want to climb Nandi and the kinds then you will need more
ratios.

Well, I will suggest that you get the basic 5 speeds and burn some
rubber and calories. Once you gain some stamina and fitness then just
upgrade to a better bike.
Any decent bike comes with enough gears these days.

Happy biking.
Pankaj

I have a 1x6 speed set fitted on my hercules. No great help with nandi, but
major improvement on most other routes.
