Just moved from 48/18 to 48/14

Much more fun on the flats but starting from red lights is going to make me look like a grandpa next to all the multi-gear folks.

On another note, I'm using the EAI Gold Medal cogs and the 18t one has lost most of its 'Gold Medal' coating, is this a sign of retirement or does it make little difference?

You probably would have benefit from just going 1t smaller.

4t smaller is a very huge difference! you're practically riding on track gearing now.

...yeh I had a 16t somewhere but its been lost with time and 14t was in the spares box. I would agree that its not exactly a gradual shift

I'm using it with a different chain to the 18t as I don't really anticipate keeping it for long...
