I'm running completely stock in Denver. I haven't had any problems at all with altitude. It seems to compensate for wherever I am at (usually between 5,000-12,000 ft elevation). If you plan on riding twisty mountain roads where top speed is not an issue I would actually go up 2 in the rear sprocket to gain the power on the low end. My personal preference has always been to go up in the rear rather than down in front. I am basing this on nothing whatsoever, but in my head, the tighter the turn up front the faster the chain will wear out and the angles will be further off for the chain slider and might rub.
High altitude riders
Not posted for a while as I've been converting my van in to a campervan but it's now complete and I'm ready to pack the bike for a vacation around Europe. Main riding is going to b done in the Alps and the mountain passes.
So what gearing are you high altitude riders using, I'm guessing 14t front would be my thoughts but feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
