Well I did my 20 miles today on the trek 52cm (non WSD). SInce I am a newer rider I did have some SLOW hills but I did make them all. My legs screamed much more then on my cannondale. I am not sure if it is due to the two rings instead of 3 or what.

I think until I am a much stronger rider and lose more weight I want the ability to drop down into the triple. One thing I have noticed here in austin lots of our roads are flat then a straight up hill! I do not know the grade but some are steep (for this new rider).


Aggie ama ....said "Sora isn't great but I rode 6,000 miles on mine before switching to 105."

If I can get that many miles out of Sora then thats fine with me! I am going to work on getting one of the Trek demo bikes. They sell them every July.
