So far, the red Ruby all that she has ridden and it has been working great for her! Her white Ruby also has a 30-39-53 front but has a 12-27 cassette. I think this is the cassette that the bike came with and was not a strategic decision. Her Trek Madone has an older crank that is 30-42-52 and a cassette that is also a 12-27.

Good luck. Bob Hi Doug,

Different bike for flats, moutains? Is she running compact cranks? What setup does she have for gearing? Different bike for flats, moutains?
