1066 and all that ...
This is BC Discussion number 1066. What's your favourite number related to cycling and why ? Mine is 34/32 because it gets me up steep hills without wearing out my cleats.... and now someone will tell me that's not a number it's a ratio !

I've got two of those but there is a big step between 5 and 6 which doesn't appear on the 11.
