Was rolling on 52/17 for a time last year, which was fantastic for doing 35 down Archway Road, but was gradually killing my knees in start/stop Central London all day. On 44/16 now, definitely felt spinny to start with but feels perfect now. Can just about hulk it up to Highgate Village if needs be, but might have to walk it up the last bit of Ditchling..
