An Amazing Climbing Machine 11

Citi, cycling • Tags: , ,

From a single-speed [my Citi Crank Forward] perspective at 2009 Niagara Rally.

Mistery Tour

My Citi is an amazing climber [earlier report] This with platform pedals; an ENO Single Speed Crank, black anodized, 175mm, 38t; and ENO Freewheel, 19t. I did the climbing seated. I could have stood, but there was no need to. I’ll add that I’ve not been riding nearly enough. Had I been, I think the climbs would have been easier. From my perspective, the Citi is an amazing climbing machine. Thanks to RANS for a fun to ride cycle—especially as a single-speed.

A climbing technique that works for me—RPM!

The down-side. The gearing is not tall enough to maintain roadie speed.
